As Paul Ross and Robert Giddings approached the next corner, a young man with umbrella held low in front of him hurried around it and ran into a small Italian girl who was carrying a basket of fruit.  She was staggered by the collision; her basket was knocked from her arm, and the oranges began to roll in every direction.  The child broke into tears, but the cause of her misfortune only paused long enough to say angrily, "Confound you, you careless little beggar!  Why don't you watch where you are going?" and hurried on his way.
