For a moment David longed even for that unmaternal mother who had forgotten him in the hour of his distress; but she had been dead for many years. The train stopped. Every one got out. David forced himself to his feet and followed. He had been driven back into the world. It would have seemed less terrible to have been driven into a desert.
