"Like the flame of a candle, to stretch up, to point, to quiver in the bright air, to grow taller and taller as they gazed-almost to touch the rim of the round, silver moon."
Mansfield uses similes to create a visual image in the readers mind. This use of similes can often evoke personal memories and allow the reader to see into the characters thoughts. Mansfield writes "and the two women stood side by side looking at the slender flowering tree" this shows that the two women are connected by the same image before them, something they are both able to see in the same way.
