It had reached the solid business blocks, and their thousands of lodgers were added to the frantic throng. Then it knocked furiously at the many doors in the great hotels, and the terrified guests strangers in a strange city rushed about in the mazes of the halls, drag- ging great trunks and brandishing carpet-bags, seeking the doors, and disappearing into the pandemonium without. Meantime, too, it had swept over to the great residence avenues and served its writ of ejectment on the rich men's ...mansions, and reduced their delicately nurtured occupants to the unaristocratic level of the now shelter- less inmates of tenement houses a panic-stricken, heterogeneous mob of men, women, and children, fleeing from the fire. Then, when the consternation be- came general, the demon Selfishness, that is within us all, asserted his su- premacy, and the scene took on its worst features.
