text_original: I was busy all day, and could not go out alone after dark, so came to be a prisoner. One warm evening I was walking back and forth in front of our house, though I knew it a great risk, when a man overtook me, cleared his throat as if to speak, and j)assed on to the lamp post, which had made one limit of my walk.
