The doctor looked out from an upstairs window. " A little child has fallen down stairs at No. 9 154: Pearl-Fishing. Crown-street, and is very ill, — dying, I 'm afraid. Please, for God's sake, sir, come directly. No. 9 Crown-street." " I '11 be there directly," said he, and shut the window. " For that God you have just spoken about, — for His sake, — tell me are you Susan Palmer ? Is it my child that lies a-dying ? " said the shadow, springing forwards, and clutching poor Susan's arm. " It is a... little child of two years old, — I do not know whose it is ; I love it as my own. Come with me, whoever you are ; come with me." The two sped along the silent streets, — as silent as the night were they. They entered the house ; Susan snatched up the light, and carried it upstairs. The other followed. She stood with wild glaring eyes by the bed- side, never looking at Susan, but hungrily gazing at the little white still child. She stooped down, and put her hand tight on her own heart, as if to still its beating, and bent her ear to the pale lips.
