I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited
to fury by the observations of the men-but the noise
steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do? I foamed-
raved-I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been
sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose
over all and continually increased. It grew louder-louder
-louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled.

making a mockery of my horror! -- this I thought, and this
think.
