- I gathered long green rushes and left them to dry in the corner near the fire. Then I collected old candle-grease and pieces of used candles and melted them on the lid of a tin sweet box. Then I got a rush and dipped it into the melted candle-grease and left it aside untill the grease had dried into it. I did this with twelve rushes and afterwards they were used as lights in the house.
