Shurika would light dozens of oil lamps, small clay pots with tied
cotton tapers, and set them near to her mistress’s door, laying a night
moth’s trail
, then together they would sit and wait peacefully, indulging
in a little small talk of the day’s events, but never for very long.

@kkfengdao,

Moths are drawn to a light, at night.
Perhaps they were trying to attract them by "laying a trail" of oil lamps.
