Excerpt from The Wandering Jew, Vol. 2 of 3 This was Mother Bunch. Up with the lark, She was hurrying to receive some work from her employer. Remembering how a mob had treated her when She had been arrested in the streets only the day before, by mistake, the poor workgirl's fears may be imagined when She was now surrounded by the revelers against her will, But, spite of all her efforts - very feeble, alas - she could not stir a step for the band of merry-makers, newly arriving, had rushed in among the others, shoving some of them aside, pushing far into the mass, and sweeping Mother Bunch - who was in their way - clear over to the crowd around the public-house.
