When I had called to him, the flames must have reached across the door leading into the church, on either side of which the presses extended, and close to which the other combustible objects were placed. He must have dropped in his death-swoon he must have sunk in the place where he was found just as I got on the roof to break the skylight window.
And I to see then that the blood did go from me, constant; and the Maid to have perceived this thing, so that she was waked the more proper in a moment from her death-swoon. And surely, I did bleed very dreadful; for all my wounds did be opened with my running. And I to have sudden power with my lips, and did say unto her, very simple, that I loved her.
Of my father and sister I would say nothing; yet I would not, without reason, extend the knowledge of your Majesty's person farther than it is indispensably necessary."

Men were fighting, women fainting. The Americans were screaming to Chukkers to press; the English yelling to the nipper to ride for the Almighty's sake. The brown horse and his jockey came past the Open Ditch and down the straight in a hurricane that might not have been, so little did either heed it. The little jockey was far away, riding as in a death-swoon, his face silvery beneath his cap.
