Thus
,
when
ordered
to
move
on
by
the
officer
,
she
had
silently
obeyed
,
not
even
attempting
to
explain
her
situation
.
She
walked
away
to
the
next
street
-
crossing
.
Then
,
in
a
few
moments
returned
,
taking
up
her
place
on
the
corner
near
the
boarding
-
house
,
spying
upon
the
approaching
cable
cars
,
peeping
anxiously
down
the
length
of
the
sidewalks
.
Once
more
,
the
officer
ordered
her
away
,
and
once
more
,
unprotesting
,
she
complied
.
But
when
for
the
third
time
the
policeman
found
her
on
the
forbidden
spot
,
he
had
lost
his
temper
.
This
time
when
Mrs
.
Hooven
departed
,
he
had
followed
her
,
and
when
,
bewildered
,
persistent
,
she
had
attempted
to
turn
back
,
he
caught
her
by
the
shoulder
.
“
Do
you
want
to
get
arrested
,
hey
?
”
he
demanded
.
“
Do
you
want
me
to
lock
you
up
?
Say
,
do
you
,
speak
up
?
”
The
ominous
words
at
length
reached
Mrs
.
Hooven
’
s
comprehension
.
Arrested
!
She
was
to
be
arrested
.
The
countrywoman
’
s
fear
of
the
Jail
nipped
and
bit
eagerly
at
her
unwilling
heels
.
She
hurried
off
,
thinking
to
return
to
her
post
after
the
policeman
should
have
gone
away
.
But
when
,
at
length
,
turning
back
,
she
tried
to
find
the
boarding
-
house
,
she
suddenly
discovered
that
she
was
on
an
unfamiliar
street
.
Unwittingly
,
no
doubt
,
she
had
turned
a
corner
.
She
could
not
retrace
her
steps
.
She
and
Hilda
were
lost
.
“
Mammy
,
I
’
m
tired
,
”
Hilda
complained
.
Her
mother
picked
her
up
.
“
Mammy
,
where
’
re
we
gowun
,
mammy
?
”
Where
,
indeed
?
Stupefied
,
Mrs
.
Hooven
looked
about
her
at
the
endless
blocks
of
buildings
,
the
endless
procession
of
vehicles
in
the
streets
,
the
endless
march
of
pedestrians
on
the
sidewalks
.
Where
was
Minna
;
where
was
she
and
her
baby
to
sleep
that
night
?
How
was
Hilda
to
be
fed
?
She
could
not
stand
still
.
