The
throng1 of people hurried by, in two opposite streams, with no symptom of cessation or
exhaustion2; intent upon their own affairs; and undisturbed in their business
speculations3, by the roar of carts and
waggons4 laden5 with clashing
wares6, the slipping of horses’ feet upon the wet and
greasy7 pavement, the
rattling8 of the rain on windows and umbrella-tops, the jostling of the more impatient passengers, and all the noise and
tumult9 of a crowded street in the high tide of its occupation: while the two poor strangers,
stunned10 and bewildered by the hurry they
beheld11 but had no part in, looked mournfully on; feeling, amidst the crowd, a
solitude12 which has no parallel but in the thirst of the shipwrecked
mariner13, who, tost to and fro upon the billows of a
mighty14 ocean, his red eyes blinded by looking on the water which
hems15 him in on every side, has not one drop to cool his burning tongue.
