The doors were shut, the window-shutters closed, and all was still as night. I reached the extremity of the lane unmo lested. My pursuers, if they immediately followed, would know that the likelihood was small, of myhavingintheintervalfoundshelterinthisplace; and would proceed without hesitation, as I on my part was obliged to do, from the end nearest to the prison to its furthest termination. The face of the country, in the spot to which I had thus opened myself a passage, was rude and uncultivated.
