^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
