I fired again as I ran, and must have hit him again, for he reeled still more; then he turned totteringly into a ruined doorway.... Just as I determined that I must give it up the scene changed like the flash of a lamp.
When the first shock of horror had passed away in a measure, there came the question as to who might be the victims, and then those who had talked mutiny and urged their fellows on to rankest insubordination turned pale as death, while many of them walked totteringly away as if unable to control their limbs.
I recommend you at present, as your clergyman, and one who hopes for your reinstatement in respect, to quit the room, and avoid further hindrance to business." Bulstrode, after a moment's hesitation, took his hat from the floor and slowly rose, but he grasped the corner of the chair so totteringly that Lydgate felt sure there was not strength enough in him to walk away without support.
He said no more, but leaned totteringly on Eliza's shoulder, and sank senseless to the ground. Eliza threw herself upon him, uttering loud cries of anguish.

How she would teach me me, the Red Axe of Thorn how to dance that first night, and how totteringly she carried the Red Axe? The little one took heart that night. She will have a happy future, I know; so blessed, far away from this dark and damned place of the Wolfsberg. I am glad she is not here to see me die.
