one after
one
Now for something comforting to put into his famished little body . A night and a day of exhausting work , of anxiety and grief , had used up the last ounce of fuel . Bobby raced down Forest Road and turned the slight angle into Greyfriars Place . The lamp lighter 's progress toward the bridge was marked by the double row of lamps that bloomed , one after one , on the dusk . The little dog had come to the steps of Mr. Traill 's place , and lifted himself to scratch on the door , when the bugle began to blow . He dropped with the first note and dashed to the kirkyard gate . None too soon !
