But these creatures have another weapon in their
armoury: they seek to obtain the reputation of
speaking with greater vigour than the trained orator
by means of their delivery. For they shout on all

dashing this way and that, panting, gesticulating
wildly and wagging their heads with all the frenzy
of a lunatic.
