You are probably going to regret asking the question, but I googled it
and came up with
"The foot of the stairs was en route to the lavatory, as was, in the
days of the outside privy, the less well-known alternatives, 'the back
of our house' and 'the bottom of our garden'. The implication of the
speaker's destination suggests that the real meaning was 'I was so
surprised that I soiled myself and need to visit the lavatory to clean
up'."
