'
Has
it
long
gone
the
half-hour
?
'
asked
the
girl
.
'
It
'll
strike
the
hour
in
another
quarter
,
'
said
the
man
:
raising
his
lantern
to
her
face
.
'
And
I
can
not
get
there
in
less
than
an
hour
or
more
,
'
muttered
Nancy
:
brushing
swiftly
past
him
,
and
gliding
rapidly
down
the
street
.

Many
of
the
shops
were
already
closing
in
the
back
lanes
and
avenues
through
which
she
tracked
her
way
,
in
making
from
Spitalfields
towards
the
West
--
End
of
London
.
The
clock
struck
ten
,
increasing
her
impatience
.
She
tore
along
the
narrow
pavement
:
elbowing
the
passengers
from
side
to
side
;
and
darting
almost
under
the
horses
'
heads
,
crossed
crowded
streets
,
where
clusters
of
persons
were
eagerly
watching
their
opportunity
to
do
the
like
.
'
The
woman
is
mad
!
'
said
the
people
,
turning
to
look
after
her
as
she
rushed
away
.
When
she
reached
the
more
wealthy
quarter
of
the
town
,
the
streets
were
comparatively
deserted
;
and
here
her
headlong
progress
excited
a
still
greater
curiosity
in
the
stragglers
whom
she
hurried
past
.
Some
quickened
their
pace
behind
,
as
though
to
see
whither
she
was
hastening
at
such
an
unusual
rate
;
and
a
few
made
head
upon
her
,
and
looked
back
,
surprised
at
her
undiminished
speed
;
but
they
fell
off
one
by
one
;
and
when
she
neared
her
place
of
destination
,
she
was
alone
.

It
was
a
family
hotel
in
a
quiet
but
handsome
street
near
Hyde
Park
.
As
the
brilliant
light
of
the
lamp
which
burnt
before
its
door
,
guided
her
to
the
spot
,
the
clock
struck
eleven
.
She
had
loitered
for
a
few
paces
as
though
irresolute
,
and
making
up
her
mind
to
advance
;
but
the
sound
determined
her
,
and
she
stepped
into
the
hall
.
The
porter
's
seat
was
vacant
.
She
looked
round
with
an
air
of
incertitude
,
and
advanced
towards
the
stairs
.
'
Now
,
young
woman
!
'
said
a
smartly-dressed
female
,
looking
out
from
a
door
behind
her
,
'
who
do
you
want
here
?
'
'
A
lady
who
is
stopping
in
this
house
,
'
answered
the
girl
.
