The sun had set, and the streets were dim in the dusty twilight1, when the figure so long unused to them hurried on its way. In the immediate2 neighbourhood of the old house it attracted little attention, for there were only a few straggling people to notice it; but, ascending3 from the river by the crooked4 ways that led to London Bridge, and passing into the great main road, it became surrounded by astonishment5.
Resolute6 and wild of look, rapid of foot and yet weak and uncertain, conspicuously7 dressed in its black garments and with its hurried head-covering, gaunt and of an unearthly paleness, it pressed forward, taking no more heed8 of the throng9 than a sleep-walker. More remarkable10 by being so removed from the crowd it was among than if it had been lifted on a pedestal to be seen, the figure attracted all eyes. Saunterers pricked11 up their attention to observe it; busy people, crossing it, slackened their pace and turned their heads; companions pausing and standing12 aside, whispered one another to look at this spectral13 woman who was coming by; and the sweep of the figure as it passed seemed to create a vortex, drawing the most idle and most curious after it.
