I had to turn the pony⁷ very fast, the next thing, I mean the thing that the pony came down sideways, and I must have landed absolutely smack⁸ on my head. Anyway, completely fell me. He said, Papa's just snoring you see, and there I was busily swallowingmy tongue and quietly dying. Remember you told me that.
