And they're usually so rare, aren't they? Yes--they generally tend to snatch their hands back rather quickly. Unlike my husband's aunt who, many years ago, backed up to the dresser to take a picture of us, and leaned back across it...right against the candle flame. Only she didn't at first realize it. Fortunately the dresser had a mirror, in which my horrified eyes saw the back of her dress on fire. She wound up with the equivalent of a sunburn on her shoulder blade. Another second or two, and the flame would have been at her (sprayed) hair.[shudder] Afterwards, her aunt, with whom she lived (hubby's great-aunt, Aunt Bessie, age 93 or so at the time) simply talked about how she might mend the dress!
