soothed察  and   not   alarmed。   The   questions察  Mr   Bucket   said察  were 

how   she   came   by   the   letter察  what   passed   between   her   and   the 

person      who    gave   her   the   letter察 and    where    the   person     went。 

Holding my mind as steadily as I could to these points察I went into 

the   next   room   with   them。   Mr   Woodcourt   would   have   remained 

outside察but at my solicitation went in with us。 

    The poor girl was sitting  on   the  floor  where  they  had   laid   her 

down。 They stood around her though at a little distance察that she 

might have air。 She was not pretty察and looked weak and poor察but 

she had a plaintive and a good face察though it was still a little wild。 

I kneeled on the ground beside her察and put her poor head on my 

shoulder察whereupon she drew her arm round my neck察and burst 

into tears。

    ^My poor girl察院said I察laying my face against her forehead察for 

indeed I was crying too察and trembling察 it seems cruel to trouble 

you now察but more depends on our knowing something about this 

letter察than I could tell you in an hour。 ̄ 

    She began piteously declaring that she didn¨t mean any harm察

she didn¨t mean any harm察Mrs Snagsby。 

    ^We are all sure of that察院said I。 ^But pray tell me how you got 

it。 ̄ 

    ^Yes察  dear   lady察  I   will察  and   tell   you   true。   I¨ll   tell   true察  indeed察

Mrs Snagsby。 ̄ 

    ^I am sure of that察院said I。 ^And how was it拭院

    ^I  had   been    out   on  an   errand察  dear   lady!long   after      it  was 

dark!quite        late察 and   when    I  came    home察   I  found   a  common´ 

looking person察all wet and muddy察looking up at our house。 When 

she saw me coming in at the door察she called me back察and said did 

I live here拭and I said yes察and she said she knew only one or two 

places about here察but had lost her way察and couldn¨t find them。 O 

what shall I do察what shall I do They won¨t believe me She didn¨t 

say any harm to me察and I didn¨t say any harm to her察indeed察Mrs 

Snagsby 院

    It was necessary for her mistress to comfort her察which she did察

I must say察with a good deal of contribution察before   she could  be 

got beyond this。 

    ^She could not find those places察院said I。 

    ^No 院cried the girl察shaking her head。 ^No Couldn¨t find them。 

And   she   was   so   faint察  and   lame察  and   miserable察  O   so   wretched 

that if you had seen her察Mr Snagsby察you¨d have given her half´a´ 

crown察I know 院

    ^Well察  Guster察  my   girl察院  said   he察  at   first   not   knowing   what   to

say。 ^I hope I should。 ̄ 

    ^And yet she was so well spoken察院said the girl察 looking  at me 

with wide´open eyes察 that it made a person¨s heart bleed。 And so 

she said to me察did I know the way to the burying´ground拭And I 

asked her which burying´ground拭And she said the poor burying´ 

ground。 And I told her I had been a poor child myself察and it was 

according   to   parishes。   But   she   said   she   meant   a   poor   burying´ 

ground not very far from here察where there was an archway察and a 

step察and an iron gate。 ̄ 

   As I watched her face察and soothed her to go on察I saw that Mr 

Bucket received this with a look which I could not separate from 

one of alarm。 

    ^O dear察dear 院cried the girl察  pressing  her  hair  back  with  her 

hands察 what shall I do察what shall I do  She meant  the   burying´ 

ground   where  the  man   was   buried   that  took   the   sleeping   stuff! 

that you came home and told us of察Mr Snagsby!that frightened 

me so察Mrs Snagsby。 O I am frightened again。 Hold me 院

    ^You    are  so   much    better   now察院  said   I。  ^Pray察 pray   tell  me 

more。 ̄ 

    ^Yes I will察yes I will But don¨t be angry with me察that¨s a dear 

lady察because I have been so ill。 ̄ 

   Angry with her察poor soul 

    ^There察now I will察now I will。 So she said察could I tell her how 

to find it察and I said yes察and I told her察and she looked at me with 

eyes like  almost as   if she   was blind察and   herself  all   waving  back。 

And so she took out the letter察and showed it me察and said if she 

was to put that in the post´office察it would be rubbed out and not 

minded and never sent察and would I take it from her察and send it察

and the messenger would be paid at the house拭And so I said yes察

if it was no harm察and she said no!no harm。 And so I took it from 

her察and she said she had nothing to give me察and I said I was poor 

myself   and   consequently   wanted   nothing。   And   so   she   said   God 

bless you and went。 ̄ 

    ^And did she go!拭院

    ^Yes察院cried the girl察anticipating the inquiry察 yes she went the 

way   I   had   shown   her。   Then   I   came   in察  and   Mrs   Snagsby   came 

behind      me   from    somewhere察      and    laid  hold   of  me察   and   I  was 

frightened。 ̄ 

    Mr   Woodcourt   took   her   kindly   from   me。   Mr   Bucket   wrapped 

me   up察  and   immediately   we        were   in  the   street。  Mr   Woodcourt 

hesitated察but I said察 Don¨t leave me now 院and Mr Bucket added察

^You¨ll be better with us察we may want you察don¨t lose time 院

    I   have   the   most  confused   impressions   of   that   walk。   I   recollect 

that it was neither night nor day察that morning was dawning察but 

the    street   lamps    were   not   yet   put  out察  that   the  sleet   was   still 

falling察and   that  all   the   ways   were   deep   with   it。   I   recollect  a   few 

chilled people passing in the streets。 I recollect the wet housetops察

the clogged and bursting gutters and water´spouts察the mounds of 

blackened ice and snow over which we passed察the narrowness of 

the courts by which we went。   At  the   same   time I   remember  that 

the poor girl seemed to be yet telling her story audibly and plainly 

in my   hearing察  that   I   could   feel   her   resting   on   my  arm察  that   the 

stained house fronts put on human shapes and looked at me察that 

great water gates seemed to be opening and closing in my head察or 

in the air察and that the unreal things were more substantial than 

the real。 

    At   last  we   stood    under    a  dark   and    miserable     covered     way察

where   one   lamp   was   burning   over   an   iron   gate察  and   where   the

morning faintly struggled in。 The gate was closed。 Beyond it察was a 

burial´ground!a dreadful spot in which the night was very slowly 

stirring察but where I could dimly see heaps of dishonoured graves 

and stones察hemmed in by filthy houses察with a few dull  lights   in 

their windows察and on whose walls a thick humidity broke out like 

a disease。 On the step at the gate察  drenched   in   the   fearful   wet  of 

such a place察which oozed and splashed down everywhere察I saw察

with a cry of pity and horror察a woman lying!Jenny察the mother of 

the dead child。 

   I   ran    forward察   but   they   stopped     me察  and    Mr   Woodcourt 

entreated      me   with   the   greatest   earnestness察    even    with   tears察

before I went up to the figure察to listen for an
