Excerpt from Jenny Lind in America Scarcely, however, had she entered the carriage and gazed for an instant on the triumphal archesfi of evergreens and owers, which had been erected inside the gates which stretch across the pier, than the multitude Without began to press against them. They were partially unbolted to prevent their being forced in, and in another instant the eager crowd had entered, snapping the planks like so many reeds under their fierce and impatient pressure.
