my hand and we hopped and pranced about as 

 in old times. A yell from the outside brought me 

 to my senses. Instinctively I glanced about for 

 a way of escape, though I really did not feel 

 that I was in danger. We were, however, the 

 observed of all observers, and I do not know 

 which throng was staring with greater interest 

 and astonishment, the bears in the pen or 

 the spectators on the outside.
