Chain lightning



If there was a man in those days who could move faster in a crisis than H. P. Flashman, I never met him — but there was a woman who could have given me a head start, Uliba-Wark of Tigre, the nearest thing I ever saw to chain lightning with a link snapped.


Flashman on the March, p.115, Harper Collins, paperback edition 2005.
