She got very lively, told her father she felt as if she would like to
strike out, only for fun; she would like it just for the fun of it.
After awhile she lay down on the lounge, and began, to use a common
expression, to kick up her heels; her mother reproaching, said,
“Bella, do behave, that is not lady like;” when the child
responded: “Ma, I cannot help it; I feel exactly as if I wanted to
fly away,” [4]. ► Mind inactive, cannot collect my thoughts
(second day); mind inactive, cannot concentrate the mind (third day), [3]. ►
