Noah
exchanged
a
look
with
Fagin
,
and
darted
out
'
To
the
left
,
'
whispered
the
lad
;
'
take
the
left
had
,
and
keep
od
the
other
side
.
'
He
did
so
;
and
,
by
the
light
of
the
lamps
,
saw
the
girl
's
retreating
figure
,
already
at
some
distance
before
him
.
He
advanced
as
near
as
he
considered
prudent
,
and
kept
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
street
,
the
better
to
observe
her
motions
.
She
looked
nervously
round
,
twice
or
thrice
,
and
once
stopped
to
let
two
men
who
were
following
close
behind
her
,
pass
on
.
She
seemed
to
gather
courage
as
she
advanced
,
and
to
walk
with
a
steadier
and
firmer
step
.
The
spy
preserved
the
same
relative
distance
between
them
,
and
followed
:
with
his
eye
upon
her
.

The
church
clocks
chimed
three
quarters
past
eleven
,
as
two
figures
emerged
on
London
Bridge
.
One
,
which
advanced
with
a
swift
and
rapid
step
,
was
that
of
a
woman
who
looked
eagerly
about
her
as
though
in
quest
of
some
expected
object
;
the
other
figure
was
that
of
a
man
,
who
slunk
along
in
the
deepest
shadow
he
could
find
,
and
,
at
some
distance
,
accommodated
his
pace
to
hers
:
stopping
when
she
stopped
:
and
as
she
moved
again
,
creeping
stealthily
on
:
but
never
allowing
himself
,
in
the
ardour
of
his
pursuit
,
to
gain
upon
her
footsteps
.
Thus
,
they
crossed
the
bridge
,
from
the
Middlesex
to
the
Surrey
shore
,
when
the
woman
,
apparently
disappointed
in
her
anxious
scrutiny
of
the
foot-passengers
,
turned
back
.
The
movement
was
sudden
;
but
he
who
watched
her
,
was
not
thrown
off
his
guard
by
it
;
for
,
shrinking
into
one
of
the
recesses
which
surmount
the
piers
of
the
bridge
,
and
leaning
over
the
parapet
the
better
to
conceal
his
figure
,
he
suffered
her
to
pass
on
the
opposite
pavement
.
When
she
was
about
the
same
distance
in
advance
as
she
had
been
before
,
he
slipped
quietly
down
,
and
followed
her
again
.
At
nearly
the
centre
of
the
bridge
,
she
stopped
.
The
man
stopped
too
.
It
was
a
very
dark
night
.
The
day
had
been
unfavourable
,
and
at
that
hour
and
place
there
were
few
people
stirring
.
Such
as
there
were
,
hurried
quickly
past
:
very
possibly
without
seeing
,
but
certainly
without
noticing
,
either
the
woman
,
or
the
man
who
kept
her
in
view
.
Their
appearance
was
not
calculated
to
attract
the
importunate
regards
of
such
of
London
's
destitute
population
,
as
chanced
to
take
their
way
over
the
bridge
that
night
in
search
of
some
cold
arch
or
doorless
hovel
wherein
to
lay
their
heads
;
they
stood
there
in
silence
:
neither
speaking
nor
spoken
to
,
by
any
one
who
passed
.
A
mist
hung
over
the
river
,
deepening
the
red
glare
of
the
fires
that
burnt
upon
the
small
craft
moored
off
the
different
wharfs
,
and
rendering
darker
and
more
indistinct
the
murky
buildings
on
the
banks
.
The
old
smoke-stained
storehouses
on
either
side
,
rose
heavy
and
dull
from
the
dense
mass
of
roofs
and
gables
,
and
frowned
sternly
upon
water
too
black
to
reflect
even
their
lumbering
shapes
.
The
tower
of
old
Saint
Saviour
's
Church
,
and
the
spire
of
Saint
Magnus
,
so
long
the
giant-warders
of
the
ancient
bridge
,
were
visible
in
the
gloom
;
but
the
forest
of
shipping
below
bridge
,
and
the
thickly
scattered
spires
of
churches
above
,
were
nearly
all
hidden
from
sight
.

The
girl
had
taken
a
few
restless
turns
to
and
fro
--
closely
watched
meanwhile
by
her
hidden
observer
--
when
the
heavy
bell
of
St.
Paul
's
tolled
for
the
death
of
another
day
.
Midnight
had
come
upon
the
crowded
city
.
The
palace
,
the
night-cellar
,
the
jail
,
the
madhouse
:
the
chambers
of
birth
and
death
,
of
health
and
sickness
,
the
rigid
face
of
the
corpse
and
the
calm
sleep
of
the
child
:
midnight
was
upon
them
all
.
The
hour
had
not
struck
two
minutes
,
when
a
young
lady
,
accompanied
by
a
grey-haired
gentleman
,
alighted
from
a
hackney-carriage
within
a
short
distance
of
the
bridge
,
and
,
having
dismissed
the
vehicle
,
walked
straight
towards
it
.
They
had
scarcely
set
foot
upon
its
pavement
,
when
the
girl
started
,
and
immediately
made
towards
them
.
They
walked
onward
,
looking
about
them
with
the
air
of
persons
who
entertained
some
very
slight
expectation
which
had
little
chance
of
being
realised
,
when
they
were
suddenly
joined
by
this
new
associate
.
They
halted
with
an
exclamation
of
surprise
,
but
suppressed
it
immediately
;
for
a
man
in
the
garments
of
a
countryman
came
close
up
--
brushed
against
them
,
indeed
--
at
that
precise
moment
.
