She had made one last appeal to friends, but, against the chill wall of their respectability, the voice of the erring outcast fell unheeded; and then she had gone to see her child - had held it in her arms and kissed it, in a weary, dull sort of way, and without betraying any particular emotion of any kind, and had left it, after putting into its hand a penny box of chocolate she had bought it, and afterwards, with her last few shillings, had taken a ticket and come down to Goring.
Elle lança un dernier appel a ses amis, mais la voix de la malheureuse errante se heurta au mur glacial de leur respectabilité. Alors elle alla voir son enfant ; elle le prit dans ses bras, l’embrassa sans laisser paraître le désespoir qui lui tenaillait le coeur, puis le quitta en lui donnant une petite boîte de chocolats de quatre sous, et employa ses derniers shillings a prendre un aller simple pour Goring.
