Yankely must be quite a young man. Yes, he would be seventeen by now. And Rachel, that pretty, clinging cherub! In all those years he had not dared to let his thoughts pause upon them. His past lay like a misty dream behind those thousand leagues of ocean. But now it started up in all the colours of daylight, warm, appealing.

Ah, what a blackguard he had been!
He arrived at last, with a few charity coins in his pocket, in the familiar Spitalfields alley, guarded by the three iron posts over which he remembered his Yankely leaping. His heart was full of tears and memories.
