"They used to go up like great lilies and snapdragons and laburnums of fire and hang in the twilight all evening" (page 5)
"the door opened onto a tub-shaped hall like a tunnel" (page 1)
"it had a perfectly round door like a porthole" (page 1)
"as he came hurtling down like a thunderbolt" (page 107 ch 6)
