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.
Ella aveva fatto un ultimo appello ai parenti; ma la voce della sventurata errabonda si spense contro il freddo muro della loro rispettabilità; e poi la donna era andata a visitare il bambino: se l’era tenuto in braccio e, baciatolo, e come stanca e senza slancio, e senza rivelar nessuna particolare commozione, l’aveva lasciato mettendogli in mano una scatoletta di cioccolatini. Poi, con le ultime poche lire, aveva comprato un biglietto per il tratto della ferrovia fino a Goring.
