A regular negro fight ensued, in which Aunt Katy, who was not very active,
was thrown down, and as she loudly protested, "every atom of breath was
kicked out of her."
The big chicken pie was also turned over into Rondeau's new hat, greatly
to the satisfaction of Tiger and the other dogs, who had mingled in the
fracas! The riot was finally quelled by Mr. William Middleton and Dr.
Lacey, Uncle Joshua declaring he "wouldn't interfere that night if the
niggers all fit till they killed themselves."
