    ^Thank   you察  miss。   If   you   please察  miss察  did   you   know   a   poor

    ^She came and spoke to me when I was out a little while   ago察

and said you knew her察miss。 She asked me if I wasn¨t the young 

lady¨s   little   maid!meaning   you   for   the   young   lady察  miss!and   I 

said yes察miss。 ̄ 

    ^I   thought     she    had    left  this    neighbourhood        altogether察

Charley。 ̄ 

    ^So she had察miss察but she¨s come back again to where she used 

to   live!she   and   Liz。   Did   you   know   another   poor   person   of   the 

name of Liz察miss拭院

    ^I think I do察Charley察though not by name。 ̄ 

    ^That¨s    what    she  said 院  returned    Charley。    ^They    have   both 

come back察miss察and have been tramping high and low。 ̄ 

    ^Tramping high and low察have they察Charley拭院

    ^Yes察miss。 ̄ If Charley could only have made the letters in her 

copy as round as the eyes with which she looked into my face察they 

would have been excellent。 ^And this poor person came about the 

house three or four days察hoping to get a glimpse of you察miss!all 

she wanted察she said!but you were away。 That was when she saw 

me。 She saw me a   going  about察  miss察院  said   Charley察  with  a   short 

laugh of the greatest delight and pride察 and she thought I looked 

like your maid 院

    ^Did she though察really察Charley拭院

    ^Yes察miss 院said Charley察 really and truly。 ̄ And Charley察with 

another short laugh of the purest glee察made her eyes very round 

again察and looked as serious as became my maid。 I was never tired 

of   seeing   Charley     in  the  full  enjoyment     of  that   great   dignity察

standing   before   me   with   her   youthful   face   and   figure察  and    her 

steady   manner察  and   her   childish   exultation   breaking   through   it 

now and then in the pleasantest way。

    ^And where did you see her察Charley拭院said I。 

    My    little  maid¨s    countenance        fell察 as  she   replied察    By    the 

doctor¨s shop察miss。 ̄ For Charley wore her black frock yet。 

    I asked if the brickmaker¨s wife were ill察but Charley said No。 It 

was   some   one   else。   Some   one   in   her   cottage   who   had   tramped 

down to Saint Alban¨s察and was tramping he didn¨t know where。 A 

poor boy察Charley said。 No father察no mother察no any one。 ^Like as 

Tom      might    have   been察   miss察  if  Emma     and    me   had    died   after 

father察院said Charley察her round eyes filling with tears。 

    ^And she was getting medicine for him察Charley拭院

    ^She said察miss察院returned Charley察 how that he had once done 

as much for her。 ̄ 

    My   little   maid¨s   face   was   so   eager察  and   her   quiet   hands   were 

folded so closely in one another as she stood looking at me察that I 

had   no   great  difficulty   in   reading   her   thoughts。   ^Well察  Charley察院

said I察 it appears to me that you and I can do no better  than   go 

round to Jenny¨s and see what¨s the matter。 ̄ 

    The   alacrity   with   which   Charley   brought   my   bonnet   and   veil察

and察  having   dressed   me察  quaintly   pinned   herself   into   her   warm 

shawl   and   made   herself   look   like   a   little   old   woman察  sufficiently 

expressed       her    readiness。     So   Charley      and    I察 without     saying 

anything to any one察went out。 

    It was a cold察wild night察and the trees shuddered in the wind。 

The     rain   had    been    thick   and    heavy     all  day察  and    with   little 

intermission for many days。 None was falling just  then察  however。 

The sky had partly cleared察but was very gloomy!even above us察

where a few stars were shining。 In the north and northwest察where 

the   sun   had   set   three   hours   before察  there   was   a   pale   dead   light 

both   beautiful   and   awful察  and   into   it   long   sullen   lines   of   cloud

waved      up察  like  a   sea  stricken    immovable       as   it  was   heaving。 

Towards   London察  a   lurid   glare   overhung   the   whole   dark   waste察

and the contrast between these two lights察and the fancy which the 

redder light engendered of an unearthly fire察gleaming on   all   the 

unseen      buildings    of  the   city察 and   on  all  the  faces   of  its  many 

thousands of wondering inhabitants察was as solemn as might be。 

    I   had   no   thought察  that   night!none察  I   am   quite   sure!of   what 

was soon to happen to me。 But I have always remembered since察

that when we had stopped at the garden gate to look up at the sky察

and     when    we    went    upon    our   way察   I  had    for  a  moment       an 

undefinable       impression     of  myself    as  being    something      different 

from what I then was。 I know it was then察and there察that I had it。 I 

have ever since connected the feeling with that spot and time察and 

with everything associated with that spot and time察to the distant 

voices in the town察the barking of a dog察and the sound of wheels 

coming down the miry hill。 

    It was Saturday night察and most of the people belonging to the 

place where we were going察were drinking elsewhere。 We found it 

quieter  than   I   had previously  seen   it察  though   quite   as   miserable。 

The kilns were burning察and a stifling vapour set towards us with a 

pale blue glare。 

    We came to the cottage察where there was a feeble candle in the 

patched window。 We tapped at the door and went in。 The mother 

of the little child who had died察was sitting in a chair on one side of 

the   poor   fire   by   the   bed察  and   opposite   to   her察  a   wretched   boy察

supported   by   the   chimney´piece察  was   cowering   on   the   floor。   He 

held   under  his arm察like   a   little   bundle察  a   fragment   of   a   fur   cap察

and as he tried to warm himself察he shook until the crazy door and 

window       shook。   The    place   was   closer   than    before察  and   had    an

unhealthy察and a very peculiar smell。 

   I had not lifted my veil when I first spoke to the woman察which 

was at the moment of our going in。 The boy staggered up instantly察

and   stared   at   me   with   a   remarkable   expression   of   surprise   and 

terror。 

   His   action   was   so   quick察  and   my  being   the   cause   of   it   was   so 

evident察that I stood still察instead of advancing nearer。 

    ^I won¨t go no more to the berryin ground察院muttered the boy察

^I ain¨t a´going there察so I tell you 院

   I lifted my veil and spoke to the woman。 She said to me in a low 

voice察 Don¨t mind him察ma¨am。 He¨ll soon come back to his head察院

and said to him察 Jo察Jo察what¨s the matter拭院

    ^I know wot she¨s come for 院cried the boy。 

    ^Who拭院

    ^The lady there。 She¨s come to get me to go along with  her  to 

the berryin ground。 I won¨t go to the berryin ground。 I don¨t like 

the name of it。 She might go a´berryin me 院His shivering came on 

again察and as he leaned against the wall察he shook the hovel。
