By a piece of particular ill-fortune, we came one day upon one undergoing the ceremony of tuning, on a piece of waste-ground at the back of Coldbath Prison. The deplorable wail of those tortured pipes and reeds, and the short savage grunt of the bass mystery, haunted us, a perpetual day-and-night-mare, for a month.
A glimpse of Ephraim busied in one of his religious capacities was no thing to be desired twice. Summer came upon Shushan, turning the trodden waste-ground to iron, and bringing sickness to the city. 'It will not touch us, said Ephraim confidently. 'Before the winter we shall have our synagogue.
Money for the great church he designed to build on a site adjoining the old tabernacle began to flow in; and five years after his marriage Lidderdale had enough money subscribed to begin to build. The rubbish-strewn waste-ground overlooked by the back-windows of the Mission House was thronged with workmen; day by day the walls of the new St. Wilfred's rose higher.
But with a faint laugh she ran staggering across the waste-ground.... I, of course, followed her, while behind me a wail rose up in unison from the old man and the child.... Raissa darted straight to our house. "Here's a day!" I thought, trying not to lose sight of the black dress that was fluttering before me. "Well!"
She must have seen...." And all at once I remembered that the very moment of David's fall, a terrible piercing shriek had rung in my ears. "Was not that Raissa? But how was it I did not see her afterwards?" Before the little house in which Latkin lodged there stretched a waste-ground overgrown with nettles and surrounded by a broken hurdle.
