They have been bottled up for too long... To be exact for twenty-two years...I could, therefore, not stop them... However, I eventually managed to calm down... I then straightened up...

So they did not know what to make of this sudden outburst of emotion...But I knew it was time to say something to them... Something I had been longing to say to them ever since I saw them the first time two years ago...And I knew the time had finally come to say what I had wanted to say all that time....It was time to reveal to them that I am not who they believe me to be... The moment has come to reveal to them that I am the brother they sold to merchants these many years ago.... That I am Joseph."...
