She passed him, but to her astonishment he did not speak to her. She thought by some wonder he had not seen her, but she felt his gaze resting upon her. She turned back, and suddenly he dropped his eyes and looked down, walking on as if he had not seen her, but blushing furiously.

'Well, we must trust ter luck,' she said again, 'p'raps somethin' 'll 'appen soon, an' everythin' 'll come right in the end--when we gets four balls of worsted for a penny.' It was past twelve, and separating, they went by different ways along the dreary, wet, deserted roads till they came to Vere Street.

She wondered at his absence, since before wherever she had been there was he certain to be also.
