Of course, it was the thing to do, and I was up and
out in a moment. But, dear me,
there were no lamps
in those days, and it was a dark night. But I glimpsed
a dim figure a few steps away. I darted for it, threw
myself
upon it, and then there was a state of things
and lively! We fought and scuffled and struggled,
and drew a crowd in no time.
