"I tell you what, Jack," said Gay, "I've several urgent engagements this morning;
but I'll return to-morrow, and hear the rest of your story. Starting off at a rapid pace, Jack dashed down Turnagain-lane, skirted the eastern
bank of Fleet-ditch, crossed Holborn Bridge, and began to ascend the
neighbouring hill. By the time he had reached the summit of this hill, he had lost all trace of them;
and the ardour of the chase having in some measure subsided, he began to
reproach himself for his folly, in having wandered—as he conceived—so far out
of his course. This done, she
waited at the side of the bed; but he gave no sign that he was conscious of her
nearness. It has been a big night. I hope to see the day, when not Southwark alone, but London itself
shall become one Mint,—when all men shall be debtors, and none creditors,—
when imprisonment for debt shall be utterly abolished,—- when highwayrobbery shall be accounted a pleasant pastime, and forgery an accomplishment,
—when Tyburn and its gibbets shall be overthrown,—capital punishments
discontinued,—Newgate, Ludgate, the Gatehouse, and the Compters razed to the
ground,—Bridewell and Clerkenwell destroyed,—the Fleet, the King's Bench,
and the Marshalsea remembered only by name! But, in the mean time, as that
day may possibly be farther off than I anticipate, we are bound to make the most
of the present. “There I can’t help,” said Capes.
