Since then, whenever he is seized with a desire for it, if nobody is present to oblige him, he goes again into the house, lays hold of someone by the arm, leads him into the garden, and puts into his hands the arms of the barrow; if this invitation be neglected, he himself takes hold of the handles, wheels it a few paces, and places himself again in it, imagining, without doubt, that, if his desires are not gratified after all this, it is not for the want of having clearly manifested them.
