Examples from texts

When the entire chimney had thus been raised, and had been properly bound in with outward props, a brisk fire was kindled, and kept going until it was burned to something like a brick-red.
Quand toute la cheminée fut construite, et qu’on l’eut soutenue par des arcs-boutants extérieurs, on y alluma un grand feu, qu’on eut soin d’entretenir jusqu’à ce qu’elle fût d’un rouge de brique.
