Under other circumstances I might have been frightened , but now utterly fearless , I addressed her , and found from her answers that she was crazy . A sudden idea entered my brain . I would change clothes with her , and thus avoid discovery . She willingly acceded to my proposition , and in my new attire I again started toward Lexington , which I reached about four in the morning . I had no definite idea as to where I wanted to go , but the sight of the Cincinnati stage drawn up before the Phoenix determined me . I had purposely kept my own bonnet and veil , as the maniac girl wore neither . Drawing the latter over my face , I kept it there while securing my place in the coach , and until we were many miles from the city .
