My aunt chid me in a higher strain than ever she did before. While I, in a half phrensy, insisted upon seeing my father; such usage, I said, set me above fear. I would rejoice to owe my death to him, as I did my life. I did go down half way of the stairs, resolved to throw myself at his feet wherever he was. My aunt was frighted.

One of the largest in the troop fell in the gateway, and lay there for some time on his side, unable to rise, and braying in a terrific manner.
