1 I fell down, and lay for a considerable time.
2 I tried to do so, but fell back in the attempt.
3 When quite a child, she fell into the fire, and burned herself horribly.
4 When I could stand no longer, I fell, and felt as if held down by an immense weight.
5 I fell, and with this they all ran upon me, and fell to beating me with their fists.
6 That night, I fell in with Sandy Jenkins, a slave with whom I was somewhat acquainted.
7 As he did this, all hands fell upon him, and, after beating him some time, they finally overpowered him, and got him tied.
8 I again tried, and succeeded in gaining my feet; but, stooping to get the tub with which I was feeding the fan, I again staggered and fell.
9 Thanks to a kind Providence, I fell to the portion of Mrs. Lucretia, and was sent immediately back to Baltimore, to live again in the family of Master Hugh.
