I don't understand these sentences. It talks about the ditch, how come there are flambeaux? The flambeaux in the ditch? It doesn't make any sense. Could anyone explain it to me? "Down a block they had put in new pipes under the street and dug a swell deep ditch. The flambeaux around the edge were bright and red in the dark. She wouldn't wait to climb down. She ran until she reached the little wavy flames and then she jumped."
