If relief is not obtained in time, it breathes with difficulty, REELS in walking or in standing, and in a short time falls and dies from suffocation.

Yesterday we had our usual Thursday party; and before more than five or six had come, I went into the girls' sitting-room, which opens out of the drawing-room, and played REELS while the girls and two young Italians danced-but they had not danced long before our frisky Papa followed with Count Ferretti, and not only joined in a reel, but asked for a waltz, and whirled round and round with Georgy and then with me, and made the old Count do the same.
