She stared at him from under a bony hand put up against the sun, but did not apparently recognise him; he, seized with sudden shyness, quickened his pace, and was soon out of her sight. In a minute or two he was at the Dye-works, which mark the limit of the town, and the opening of the valley road. Every breath now was delight.
Half-way down this street, which is always damp, and where the gutter carries to the Seine the blackened waters from some dye-works, there is an old house, restored no doubt under Francis I., and built of bricks held together by a few courses of masonry. That it is substantial seems proved by the shape of its front wall, not uncommonly seen in some parts of Paris.
She had to step over a black gutter water from the dye-works which smoked and streaked the whiteness of the snow with its muddy course. It was the color of her thoughts. The beautiful light blue and light pink waters had long since flowed away. Then, whilst ascending the six flights of stairs in the dark, she could not prevent herself from laughing; an ugly laugh which hurt her.
Liverpool has assumed the office of importing cotton, in consequence of its proximity to the district where cotton goods are made; and for analogous reasons Hull has become the chief port at which foreign wools are brought in. Even in the establishment of breweries, of dye-works, of slate-quarries, of brick-yards, we may see the same truth.
The agony of our impatience is then so great, that in our wild alarm and hurry we are for getting out and running hiding doing anything but stopping. Out of the open country, in again among ruinous buildings, solitary farms, dye-works, tanneries, and the like, cottages in twos and threes, avenues of leafless trees. Have these men deceived us, and taken us back by another road?
The White Cloth Hall opens immediately after the other is closed, and the transactions are carried on in a similar manner. The public buildings of Leeds are not externally imposing, and it is, without exception, one of the most disagreeable-looking towns in England worse than Manchester; it has also the reputation of being very unhealthy to certain constitutions from the prevalence of dye-works.
He had been employed, he explained, in German dye-works, and there had learned something better than the native patois.
It seemed to David that she was describing her lover of the winter; he caught her gesture as she illustrated her performance with Jim Wigson the boxing of the amorous lout's ears in the lane by the Dye-works.
'And who was it gave Jim Wigson a box on the ears last fifth of November, in the lane just by the Dye-works, eh, Miss Louie? and danced with young Redway at the Upper Mill dance, New Year's Day? and had words with Mr. James at the office about her last "cut," a fortnight ago eh, Louie? 'What ever do you mean? she said, half crossly, her colour rising. 'You've been spying on me.
Houses in twos and threes pass by us, solitary farms, ruinous buildings, dye-works, tanneries, and the like, open country, avenues of leafless trees. The hard uneven pavement is under us, the soft deep mud is on either side. Sometimes, we strike into the skirting mud, to avoid the stones that clatter us and shake us; sometimes, we stick in ruts and sloughs there.
