Diamond
set
off
,
never
suspecting
that
the
policeman
,
who
was
a
kind
-
hearted
man
,
with
children
of
his
own
,
was
following
him
close
,
and
watching
him
round
every
corner
.
As
he
went
on
,
all
at
once
he
thought
he
remembered
the
place
,
and
whether
it
really
was
so
,
or
only
that
he
had
laid
up
the
policeman
s
instructions
well
in
his
mind
,
he
went
straight
for
the
cellar
of
old
Sal
.
He
s
a
sharp
little
kid
,
anyhow
,
for
as
simple
as
he
looks
,
said
the
man
to
himself
.
Not
a
wrong
turn
does
he
take
!
But
old
Sal
s
a
rum
un
for
such
a
child
to
pay
a
morning
visit
to
.
She
s
worse
when
she
s
sober
than
when
she
s
half
drunk
.
I
ve
seen
her
when
she
d
have
torn
him
in
pieces
.
Happily
then
for
Diamond
,
old
Sal
had
gone
out
to
get
some
gin
.
When
he
came
to
her
door
at
the
bottom
of
the
area
-
stair
and
knocked
,
he
received
no
answer
.
He
laid
his
ear
to
the
door
,
and
thought
he
heard
a
moaning
within
.
So
he
tried
the
door
,
and
found
it
was
not
locked
!
It
was
a
dreary
place
indeed
,
and
very
dark
,
for
the
window
was
below
the
level
of
the
street
,
and
covered
with
mud
,
while
over
the
grating
which
kept
people
from
falling
into
the
area
,
stood
a
chest
of
drawers
,
placed
there
by
a
dealer
in
second
-
hand
furniture
,
which
shut
out
almost
all
the
light
.
And
the
smell
in
the
place
was
dreadful
.

Diamond
stood
still
for
a
while
,
for
he
could
see
next
to
nothing
,
but
he
heard
the
moaning
plainly
enough
now
,
When
he
got
used
to
the
darkness
,
he
discovered
his
friend
lying
with
closed
eyes
and
a
white
suffering
face
on
a
heap
of
little
better
than
rags
in
a
corner
of
the
den
.
He
went
up
to
her
and
spoke
;
but
she
made
him
no
answer
.
Indeed
,
she
was
not
in
the
least
aware
of
his
presence
,
and
Diamond
saw
that
he
could
do
nothing
for
her
without
help
.
So
taking
a
lump
of
barley
-
sugar
from
his
pocket
,
which
he
had
bought
for
her
as
he
came
along
,
and
laying
it
beside
her
,
he
left
the
place
,
having
already
made
up
his
mind
to
go
and
see
the
tall
gentleman
,
Mr
.
Raymond
,
and
ask
him
to
do
something
for
Sal
s
Nanny
,
as
the
girl
was
called
.
By
the
time
he
got
up
the
area
-
steps
,
three
or
four
women
who
had
seen
him
go
down
were
standing
together
at
the
top
waiting
for
him
.
They
wanted
his
clothes
for
their
children
;
but
they
did
not
follow
him
down
lest
Sal
should
find
them
there
.
The
moment
he
appeared
,
they
laid
their
hands
on
him
,
and
all
began
talking
at
once
,
for
each
wanted
to
get
some
advantage
over
her
neighbours
.
He
told
them
quite
quietly
,
for
he
was
not
frightened
,
that
he
had
come
to
see
what
was
the
matter
with
Nanny
.
What
do
you
know
about
Nanny
?
said
one
of
them
fiercely
.
Wait
till
old
Sal
comes
home
,
and
you
ll
catch
it
,
for
going
prying
into
her
house
when
she
s
out
.
If
you
don
t
give
me
your
jacket
directly
,
I
ll
go
and
fetch
her
.
I
can
t
give
you
my
jacket
,
said
Diamond
.
It
belongs
to
my
father
and
mother
,
you
know
.
It
s
not
mine
to
give
.

Is
it
now
?
You
would
not
think
it
right
to
give
away
what
wasn
t
yours
would
you
now
?
Give
it
away
!
No
,
that
I
wouldn
t
;
I
d
keep
it
,
she
said
,
with
a
rough
laugh
.
But
if
the
jacket
ain
t
yours
,
what
right
have
you
to
keep
it
?
Here
,
Cherry
,
make
haste
.
It
ll
be
one
go
apiece
.
They
all
began
to
tug
at
the
jacket
,
while
Diamond
stooped
and
kept
his
arms
bent
to
resist
them
.
Before
they
had
done
him
or
the
jacket
any
harm
,
however
,
suddenly
they
all
scampered
away
;
and
Diamond
,
looking
in
the
opposite
direction
,
saw
the
tall
policeman
coming
towards
him
.
