    ^I   have   wandered   a   long   distance�察  �and   for   many   hours�察  �and   I 

know that I must soon die。 These streets� �I have no purpose but to 

die。 When I left�察�I had   a   worse�察�but  I   am   saved   from adding  that 

guilt to the rest。 Cold�察�wet�察�and fatigue�察�are sufficient causes for my 

being  found dead�此  �but   I   shall   die   of   others�察  �though   I   suffer   from 

these。 It was right that all that had sustained me should give way 

at once�察�and that I should die of terror and my conscience。 ̄ 



    ^Take   courage�察院  �said   Mr   Bucket。   ^There¨s   only   a   few   words 

more。 ̄ 

    Those�察  �too�察  �were   written   at   another   time。   To   all   appearance�察�

almost in the dark。 



    ^I have done all I could to be lost。 I shall be soon forgotten so�察�

and shall disgrace him least。 I have nothing about me by which I 

can be recognised。 This paper I part with now。 The place where I 

shall lie down�察�if I can yet get so far�察�has been often in my mind。 

Farewell。 Forgive。 ̄ 



    Mr Bucket�察�supporting me with his arm�察�lowered me gently into 

my chair。 ^Cheer up� �Don¨t think me hard with you�察�my dear�察�but�察�

as   soon   as   ever   you   feel   equal   to   it�察  �get   your   shoes   on   and   be 

ready。 ̄ 

    I did as he required�察�but I was left there a long time�察�praying for 

my   unhappy   mother。   They   were   all   occupied   with   the   poor   girl�察�

and   I   heard   Mr   Woodcourt   directing   them�察  �and   speaking   to   her 

often。 At length he came in with Mr Bucket�察�and said that as it was 

important  to  address   her  gently�察  �he   thought  it  best  that   I   should 

ask her for whatever information we desired to obtain。 There was 

no    doubt    that   she   could    now    reply   to  questions�察    �if  she   were 

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
