"Citizens of the United States! My name is Robur. I am worthy of the / name! I am forty years old, although I look but thirty, and I have a / constitution of iron, a healthy vigor that nothing can shake, a / muscular strength that few can equal, and a digestion that would be / thought first class even in an ostrich!"
They were listening! Yes! The riot was quelled at once by the totally / unexpected fashion of the speech. Was this fellow a madman or a hoaxer? / Whoever he was, he kept his audience in hand. There was not a whisper / in the meeting in which but a few minutes ago the storm was in full / fury.
