Our gentleman thought his face looked peculiarly ghastly, and so set off at a run in search of the nearest policeman. The constable was at first inclined to treat the matter lightly, suspecting common drunkenness; however, he came, and after looking at the man's face, changed his tone, quickly enough. OUR GENTLEMAN THOUGHT HIS FACE LOOKED PECULIARLY GHASTLY AND SO SET OFF IN A RUN IN SEARCH OF THE NEAREST POLICEMAN THE CONSTABLE WAS AT FIRST INCLINED TO TREAT THE MATTER LIGHTLY SUSPECTING COMMON DRUNKENNESS HOWEVER HE CAME AND AFTER LOOKING AT THE MAN'S FACE CHANGED HIS TONE QUICKLY ENOUGH
et, off Tottenham Court Road. Of course the police did not make the discovery; if you happen to be sitting up all night and have a light in your window, the constable will ring the bell, but if you happen to be lying dead in somebody’s area, you will be left alone. In this instance, as in many others, the alarm was raised by some kind of vagabond; I don’t mean a common tramp, or a public-house loafer, but a gentleman, whose business or pleasure, or both, made him a spectator of the London streets at five o’clock in the morning. This individual was, as he said, ‘going home,’ it did not appear whence or whither, and had occasion to pass through Paul Street between four and five a.m. Something or other caught his eye at Number 20; he said, absurdly enough, that the house had the most unpleasant physiognomy he had ever observed, but, at any rate, he glanced down the area and was a good deal astonished to see a man lying on the stones, his limbs all huddled together, and his face turned up.  CERTAIN HOUSE IN PAUL STREET OFF TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD OF COURSE THE POLICE DID NOT MAKE THE DISCOVERY IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE SITTING UP ALL NIGHT AND HAVE A LIGHT IN YOUR WINDOW THE CONSTABLE WOULD RING THE BELL BUT IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE LYING DEAD IN SOMEBODY'S AREA YOU WILL BE LEFT ALONE IN THIS INSTANCE AS IN MANY OTHERS THE ALARM WAS RAISED BY SOME KIND OF VAGABOND I DON'T MEAN A COMMON TRAMP OR A PUBLIC HOUSE LOAFER BUT A GENTLEMAN WHOSE BUSINESS OR PLEASURE OR BOTH MADE HIM A SPECTATOR OF THE LONDON STREETS AT FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS AS HE SAID GOING HOME IT DID NOT APPEAR WHENCE OR WHITHER AND HAD OCCASION TO PASS THROUGH PAUL STREET BETWEEN FOUR AND FIVE A M SOMETHING OR OTHER CAUGHT HIS EYE AT NUMBER TWENTY HE SAID ABSURDLY ENOUGH THAT THE HOUSE HAD THE MOST UNPLEASANT PHYSIOGNOMY HE HAD EVER OBSERVED BUT AT ANY RATE HE GLANCED DOWN THE AREA AND WAS A GOOD DEAL ASTONISHED TO SEE A MAN LYING ON THE STONES HIS LIMBS ALL HUDDLED TOGETHER AND HIS FACE TURNED UP
