He never knew, Boswell says, "the natural joy of a free and vigorous use of his limbs; when he walked it was like the struggling gait of one in fetters." All accounts agree that his strange gesticulations and contortions were painful for his friends to witness and attracted crowds of starers in the streets.

Emilia said: "I promised I would sing to them. I remember it quite well. Of course I will keep my promise." A tumult of acclamation welcomed her words, and Jim looked immensely delighted.
