MorHER GUTTERsNIPE JOINS THE MAJORITY
Punctual to his appointment, Kilsip called
1t Cations office at 8 o'clock, in order to
yuide him through the squalid labyrinths Of
the slums, and found the barrister waiting
lmpatiently for him.
They went into Little Bourke street, and
after going through the narrow and dark
lanes which now seemed quite familiar to
Calton, reached Mother Guttersnipes den,
for in truth it could be called nothing else
After climbing the rickcty stairs, which
groaned and creaked beneath their weight,
they entered the room, and found Mother
Guttersnipe lying on the bed in the corner,
and the elfsh child with the black hair play
ing cards with a slatternly looking girl at the
deal table by the faint light Of tallow can
die. They both sprang to their feet as the
strangers entered, and the elfish child pushed
q broken chair in sullen manner toward
Mr.. Cation, while the other girl shuffled into
q far corner Of the room, and crouched down
there like dog. The noise of their entry
awoke the hag from all uneasy slumber into
which she had fallen, and sitting up in bed,
she huddled the clothes round her, and pre-
sented suck>,g grewsome spectacle that Calton
involuntarily recoiled Her white hair was
all unbound, and hung in tangled masses over
her shoulder in snowy rrofasioii der face.
