Indeed, such demonstrations would not have been safe, as they were followed about by two policemen; but they really seem to take their distress as their own misfortune and God's will, and impute it to nobody as a fault.
Millionaires and paupers, dog-drivers and mounted policemen joined hands with 'ladies in the center, and swept around the circle performing most remarkable capers.
