It was very difficult to count the audience, at least from where I was.

If I could have exchanged places with some of the boys, and hung myself among the mulberries, perhaps I could have succeeded better.

We judged there were, in the forenoon, about seven or eight hundred, and in the afternoon, six or seven hundred.

To the last, everything was quiet, and all went off pleasantly.
