Terror-struck at his sufferings, the Chorus point out how utterly his goodness has been wasted in helping the race of mortals who cannot save him.

My brother looked a glance of agony at me, and I know he meant, 'Don't reveal what you see; my life depends on it. I was so terror-struck that I could hardly stand, and, not knowing what I did, I turned and hurried away." The narrator's manner and tone had the stamp of truth, and his story made a great impression on all around.

Then I became terror-struck, and crying, "Let's find Mary Anne!" fled into the kitchen, closely followed by Jem. "She's took with them fits occasional," said Mary Anne, and depositing a dripping tin she ran to the parlour.

The shot hit the ground in front of the enemy's gun; but, glancing, it struck one of the cannoniers, apparently wounding him badly, as he was carried back by his comrades.
