that the crowd caught it up with eagerness, and loudly repeating

the suggestion to have 'em out, and to pull 'em out, mobbed the

opening the coach doors, the one mourner scuffled out by himself

and was in their hands for a moment; but he was so alert, and

made such good use of his time, that in another moment he was

scouring away up a bye-street, after shedding his cloak, hat,

long hatband, white pocket-handkerchief, and other symbolical

tears.
