    ^Let me look at your forehead察院he says察bending down。 ^I am a 

doctor。 Don¨t be afraid。 I wouldn¨t hurt you for the world。 ̄ 

   He knows that by touching her with his skilful and accustomed 

hand察  he   can    soothe   her   yet   more   readily。  She   makes    a   slight 

objection察    saying察   It¨s  nothing察院   but   he   has  scarcely    laid  his 

fingers on the wounded place when she lifts it up to the light。 

    ^Aye   A   bad   bruise察  and   the   skin   sadly   broken。   This   must   be 

very sore。 ̄ 

    ^It do ache a little察sir察院returns the woman察with a started tear 

upon her cheek。 

    ^Let   me    try  to  make   it  more    comfortable。    My    handkerchief 

won¨t hurt you。 ̄ 

    ^O dear no察sir察I¨m sure of that 院

   He cleanses the injured place and dries it察and having carefully 

examined it and gently pressed it with the palm of his hand察takes 

a small case from his pocket察dresses it察and binds it up。 While he 

is  thus   employed察    he   says察 after  laughing    at  his  establishing   a 

surgery in the street此

    ^And so your husband is a brickmaker拭院

    ^How you know that察sir拭院asked the woman察astonished。 

    ^Why察I suppose so察from the colour of the clay upon your bag 

and on your dress。 And I know brickmakers go about working at 

piecework   in   places。   And   I   am   sorry   to   say   I   have   known   them 

cruel to their wives too。 ̄ 

   The woman hastily lifts up her eyes察as if she would deny that 

her injury is referable to such a cause。 But feeling the hand upon 

her forehead察and seeing his busy and composed face察she quietly 

drops them again。 

    ^Where is he now拭院asks the surgeon。

    ^He got into trouble last night察sir察but he¨ll look for me at the 

lodging´house。 ̄ 

    ^He will get into worse trouble if he often misuses his large and 

heavy hand as he has misused it here。 But you forgive him察brutal 

as he is察and I say no more of him察except that I wish he deserved 

it。 You have no young child拭院

    The woman shakes her head。 ^One as I calls mine察sir察but it¨s 

Liz¨s。 ̄ 

    ^Your own is dead。 I see Poor little thing 院

    By   this   time   he   has  finished察  and    is  putting   up   his   case。   ^I 

suppose you have some settled home。 Is it far from here拭院he asks察

good´humouredly making light of what he has done察as she gets up 

and curtseys。 

    ^It¨s   a   good   two   or   three´and´twenty   mile   from   here察  sir。     At 

Saint  Albans。   You   know   Saint  Albans察  sir拭  I   thought   you   gave   a 

start like察as if you did拭院

    ^Yes察I know something of it。 And now I will ask you a question 

in return。 Have you money for your lodging拭院

    ^Yes察  sir察院  she   says察   really   and   truly。 ̄   And   she   shows   it。   He 

tells   her察  in acknowledgement  of  her  many  subdued   thanks察 that 

she is very welcome察gives her good day察and walks away。 Tom´all´ 

Alone¨s is still asleep察and nothing is astir。 

    Yes察  something   is   As   he   retraces   his   way   to   the   point   from 

which he descried the woman at a distance sitting on the step察he 

sees a ragged figure coming very cautiously along察crouching close 

to   the   soiled   walls!which   the   wretchedest   figure   might   as   well 

avoid!and furtively thrusting a hand before it。 It is the figure of a 

youth察  whose   face   is   hollow察  and   whose   eyes   have   an   emaciated 

glare。    He   is  so  intent   on   getting    along    unseen察   that   even    the

apparition of a stranger in whole garments does not tempt him to 

look back。 He shades his face with his ragged elbow as he passes 

on the other side of the way察and goes shrinking and creeping on察

with    his   anxious     hand    before    him察   and   his   shapeless     clothes 

hanging   in   shreds。   Clothes   made   for   what   purpose察  or         of   what 

material察it would be impossible to say。 They look察in colour and in 

substance察  like   a   bundle   of   rank   leaves   of   swampy   growth察  that 

rotted long ago。 

    Allan Woodcourt pauses to look after him and note all this察with 

a shadowy belief that he has seen the boy before。 He cannot recall 

how察or where察but there is some association in his mind with such 

a form。 He imagines that he must have seen it in some hospital or 

refuge察still察cannot make out why it comes with any special force 

on his remembrance。 

    He is gradually emerging from Tom´all´Alone¨s in the morning 

light察  thinking  about  it察  when   he   hears   running   feet  behind   him察

and   looking   round察  sees   the   boy察  scouring   towards   him   at   great 

speed察followed by the woman。 

    ^Stop     him察  stop   him 院   cries   the   woman察     almost    breathless。 

^Stop him察sir 院

    He   darts   across   the   road   into   the   boy¨s   path察  but   the   boy   is 

quicker than he!makes a curve!ducks!dives under his hands! 

comes up half´a´dozen yards beyond him察and scours away again。 

Still察  the   woman   follows察  crying察   Stop   him察  sir察  pray   stop   him 院

Allan察not knowing but that he has just robbed her of her money察

follows   in   chase察and   runs so  hard察  that  he   runs   the   boy   down   a 

dozen   times察  but   each   time   he   repeats   the   curve察  the   duck察  the 

dive察  and   scours   away   again。   To   strike   at   him察  on   any   of   these 

occasions察would be to fell and disable him察but the pursuer cannot

resolve to do that察and so the grimly ridiculous pursuit continues。 

At last the fugitive察hard´pressed察takes to a narrow passage察and a 

court    which    has   no   thoroughfare。      Here察   against   a  hoarding     of 

decaying   timber察  he   is   brought   to   bay察  and   tumbles   down察  lying 

gasping   at   his   pursuer察  who   stands   and   gasps   at   him   until   the 

woman comes up。 

    ^O you察Jo 院cries the woman。 ^What拭I have found you at last 院

    ^Jo察院repeats Allan察looking at him with attention。 ^Jo Stay。 To 

be   sure   I   recollect   this   lad   some   time   ago   being   brought   before 

the coroner。 ̄ 

    ^Yes察   I  see  you   once    afore   at  the  Inkwhich察院     whimpers      Jo。 

^What of that拭Can¨t you never let such an unfortnet as me alone拭

An¨t I unfortnet enough for you yet拭How unfortnet do you want 

me for to be拭Iv¨e been a´chivied and a´chivied察fust by one on you 

and nixt by another on you察till I¨m worritted to skins and bones。 

The Inkwhich warn¨t my fault。 I done nothink。 He wos wery good 

to me he wos察he  wos   the  only  one  I  know¨d   to  speak   to察as   ever 

come across my crossing。 It ain¨t wery likely I should want him to 

be Inkwhich¨d。 I only wish I wos察myself。 I don¨t know why I don¨t 

go and make a hole in the water察I¨m sure I don¨t。 

    He says it with such a pitiable air察and his grimy tears appear so 

real察  and   he   lies   in   the   corner   up   against   the   hoarding   so   like   a 

growth of fungus or any unwholesome excresence
