THE FLIGHT OF SIKES Of all bad deeds that, under cover of the darkness, had been committed within wide London's bounds since night hung over it, that was the worst.
Of all the horrors that rose with an ill scent1 upon the morning air, that was the foulest2 and most cruel. The sun--the bright sun, that brings back, not light alone, but new life, and hope, and freshness to man--burst upon the crowded city in clear and radiant glory.
Through costly-coloured glass and paper-mended window, through cathedral dome3 and rotten crevice4, it shed its equal ray.
It lighted up the room where the murdered woman lay.
It did.
He tried to shut it out, but it would stream in.
If the sight had been a ghastly one in the dull morning, what was it, now, in all that brilliant light! He had not moved; he had been afraid to stir.
There had been a moan and motion of the hand; and, with terror added to rage, he had struck and struck again.
Once he threw a rug over it; but it was worse to fancy the eyes, and imagine them moving towards him, than to see them glaring upward, as if watching the reflection of the pool of gore5 that quivered and danced in the sunlight on the ceiling.
He had plucked it off again.
And there was the body--mere6 flesh and blood, no more--but such flesh, and so much blood! He struck a light, kindled7 a fire, and thrust the club into it. There was hair upon the end, which blazed and shrunk into a light cinder9, and, caught by the air, whirled up the chimney.
Even that frightened him, sturdy as he was; but he held the weapon till it broke, and then piled it on the coals to burn away, and smoulder into ashes.
He washed himself, and rubbed his clothes; there were spots that would not be removed, but he cut the pieces out, and burnt them.
The very feet of the dog were bloody11. All this time he had, never once, turned his back upon the corpse12; no, not for a moment.
Such preparations completed, he moved, backward, towards the door:
dragging the dog with him, lest he should soil his feet anew and carry out new evidence of the crime into the streets. He shut the door softly, locked it, took the key, and left the house. He crossed over, and glanced up at the window, to be sure that nothing was visible from the outside.
There was the curtain still drawn13, which she would have opened to admit the light she never saw again.
It lay nearly under there.
He knew that.
God, how the sun poured down upon the very spot! The glance was instantaneous.
It was a relief to have got free of the room.
He whistled on the dog, and walked rapidly away. He went through Islington; strode up the hill at Highgate on which stands the stone in honour of Whittington; turned down to Highgate Hill, unsteady of purpose, and uncertain where to go; struck off to the right again, almost as soon as he began to descend14 it; and taking the foot-path across the fields, skirted Caen Wood, and so came on Hampstead Heath.
Traversing the hollow by the Vale of Heath, he mounted the opposite bank, and crossing the road which joins the villages of Hampstead and Highgate, made along the remaining portion of the heath to the fields at North End, in one of which he laid himself down under a hedge, and slept. Soon he was up again, and away,--not far into the country, but back towards London by the high-road--then back again--then over another part of the same ground as he already traversed--then wandering up and down in fields, and lying on ditches' brinks to rest, and starting up to make for some other spot, and do the same, and ramble16 on again. Where could he go, that was near and not too public, to get some meat and drink?
Hendon.
That was a good place, not far off, and out of most people's way.
Thither17 he directed his steps,--running sometimes, and sometimes, with a strange perversity18, loitering at a snail's pace, or stopping altogether and idly breaking the hedges with a stick.
But when he got there, all the people he met--the very children at the doors--seemed to view him with suspicion.
Back he turned again, without the courage to purchase bit or drop, though he had tasted no food for many hours; and once more he lingered on the Heath, uncertain where to go. He wandered over miles and miles of ground, and still came back to the old place.
Morning and noon had passed, and the day was on the wane19, and still he rambled20 to and fro, and up and down, and round and round, and still lingered about the same spot.
At last he got away, and shaped his course for Hatfield. It was nine o'clock at night, when the man, quite tired out, and the dog, limping and lame21 from the unaccustomed exercise, turned down the hill by the church of the quiet village, and plodding22 along the little street, crept into a small public-house, whose scanty23 light had guided them to the spot.
There was a fire in the tap-room, and some country-labourers were drinking before it. They made room for the stranger, but he sat down in the furthest corner, and ate and drank alone, or rather with his dog:
to whom he cast a morsel24 of food from time to time. The conversation of the men assembled here, turned upon the neighbouring land, and farmers; and when those topics were exhausted25, upon the age of some old man who had been buried on the previous Sunday; the young men present considering him very old, and the old men present declaring him to have been quite young--not older, one white-haired grandfather said, than he was--with ten or fifteen year of life in him at least--if he had taken care; if he had taken care. There was nothing to attract attention, or excite alarm in this. The robber, after paying his reckoning, sat silent and unnoticed in his corner, and had almost dropped asleep, when he was half wakened by the noisy entrance of a new comer. This was an antic fellow, half pedlar and half mountebank26, who travelled about the country on foot to vend27 hones, strops, razors, washballs, harness-paste, medicine for dogs and horses, cheap perfumery, cosmetics28, and such-like wares29, which he carried in a case slung30 to his back.
His entrance was the signal for various homely31 jokes with the countrymen, which slackened not until he had made his supper, and opened his box of treasures, when he ingeniously contrived32 to unite business with amusement. 'And what be that stoof?
Good to eat, Harry33?' asked a grinning countryman, pointing to some composition-cakes in one corner. 'This,' said the fellow, producing one, 'this is the infallible and invaluable34 composition for removing all sorts of stain, rust8, dirt, mildew35, spick, speck36, spot, or spatter, from silk, satin, linen37, cambric, cloth, crape, stuff, carpet, merino, muslin, bombazeen, or woollen stuff.
Wine-stains, fruit-stains, beer-stains, water-stains, paint-stains, pitch-stains, any stains, all come out at one rub with the infallible and invaluable composition.
If a lady stains her honour, she has only need to swallow one cake and she's cured at once--for it's poison.
If a gentleman wants to prove this, he has only need to bolt one little square, and he has put it beyond question--for it's quite as satisfactory as a pistol-bullet, and a great deal nastier in the flavour, consequently the more credit in taking it.
One penny a square.
With all these virtues38, one penny a square!' There were two buyers directly, and more of the listeners plainly hesitated.
The vendor39 observing this, increased in loquacity40. 'It's all bought up as fast as it can be made,' said the fellow. 'There are fourteen water-mills, six steam-engines, and a galvanic battery, always a-working upon it, and they can't make it fast enough, though the men work so hard that they die off, and the widows is pensioned directly, with twenty pound a-year for each of the children, and a premium41 of fifty for twins.
One penny a square!
Two half-pence is all the same, and four farthings is received with joy.
One penny a square! Wine-stains, fruit-stains, beer-stains, water-stains, paint-stains, pitch-stains, mud-stains, blood-stains!
Here is a stain upon the hat of a gentleman in company, that I'll take clean out, before he can order me a pint42 of ale.' 'Hah!' cried Sikes starting up.
'Give that back.' 'I'll take it clean out, sir,' replied the man, winking43 to the company, 'before you can come across the room to get it. Gentlemen all, observe the dark stain upon this gentleman's hat, no wider than a shilling, but thicker than a half-crown.
Whether it is a wine-stain, fruit-stain, beer-stain, water-stain, paint-stain, pitch-stain, mud-stain, or blood-stain--' The man got no further, for Sikes with a hideous44 imprecation overthrew45 the table, and tearing the hat from him, burst out of the house. With the same perversity of feeling and irresolution46 that had fastened upon him, despite himself, all day, the murderer, finding that he was not followed, and that they most probably considered him some drunken sullen47 fellow, turned back up the town, and getting out of the glare of the lamps of a stage-coach that was standing48 in the street, was walking past, when he recognised the mail from London, and saw that it was standing at the little post-office.
He almost knew what was to come; but he crossed over, and listened. The guard was standing at the door, waiting for the letter-bag. A man, dressed like a game-keeper, came up at the moment, and he handed him a basket which lay ready on the pavement. 'That's for your people,' said the guard.
'Now, look alive in there, will you.
Damn that 'ere bag, it warn't ready night afore last; this won't do, you know!' 'Anything new up in town, Ben?' asked the game-keeper, drawing back to the window-shutters, the better to admire the horses. 'No, nothing that I knows on,' replied the man, pulling on his gloves.
'Corn's up a little.
I heerd talk of a murder, too, down Spitalfields way, but I don't reckon much upon it.' 'Oh, that's quite true,' said a gentleman inside, who was looking out of the window.
'Man or woman, pray, sir?' 'A woman,' replied the gentleman.
'It is supposed--' 'Now, Ben,' replied the coachman impatiently. 'Damn that 'ere bag,' said the guard; 'are you gone to sleep in there?' 'Coming!' cried the office keeper, running out. 'Coming,' growled52 the guard.
'Ah, and so's the young 'ooman of property that's going to take a fancy to me, but I don't know when.
Here, give hold.
All ri--ight!' The horn sounded a few cheerful notes, and the coach was gone. Sikes remained standing in the street, apparently53 unmoved by what he had just heard, and agitated54 by no stronger feeling than a doubt where to go.
At length he went back again, and took the road which leads from Hatfield to St. Albans. He went on doggedly55; but as he left the town behind him, and plunged56 into the solitude57 and darkness of the road, he felt a dread49 and awe58 creeping upon him which shook him to the core. Every object before him, substance or shadow, still or moving, took the semblance59 of some fearful thing; but these fears were nothing compared to the sense that haunted him of that morning's ghastly figure following at his heels.
He could trace its shadow in the gloom, supply the smallest item of the outline, and note how stiff and solemn it seemed to stalk along.
He could hear its garments rustling60 in the leaves, and every breath of wind came laden61 with that last low cry.
If he stopped it did the same.
If he ran, it followed--not running too:
that would have been a relief:
but like a corpse endowed with the mere machinery62 of life, and borne on one slow melancholy63 wind that never rose or fell. At times, he turned, with desperate determination, resolved to beat this phantom64 off, though it should look him dead; but the hair rose on his head, and his blood stood still, for it had turned with him and was behind him then.
He had kept it before him that morning, but it was behind now--always.
He leaned his back against a bank, and felt that it stood above him, visibly out against the cold night-sky.
He threw himself upon the road--on his back upon the road.
At his head it stood, silent, erect65, and still--a living grave-stone, with its epitaph in blood. Let no man talk of murderers escaping justice, and hint that Providence66 must sleep.
There were twenty score of violent deaths in one long minute of that agony of fear. There was a shed in a field he passed, that offered shelter for the night.
Before the door, were three tall poplar trees, which made it very dark within; and the wind moaned through them with a dismal67 wail68.
He could not walk on, till daylight came again; and here he stretched himself close to the wall--to undergo new torture. For now, a vision came before him, as constant and more terrible than that from which he had escaped.
Those widely staring eyes, so lustreless69 and so glassy, that he had better borne to see them than think upon them, appeared in the midst of the darkness: light in themselves, but giving light to nothing.
There were but two, but they were everywhere.
If he shut out the sight, there came the room with every well-known object--some, indeed, that he would have forgotten, if he had gone over its contents from memory--each in its accustomed place.
The body was in its place, and its eyes were as he saw them when he stole away.
He got up, and rushed into the field without.
The figure was behind him. He re-entered the shed, and shrunk down once more.
The eyes were there, before he had laid himself along. And here he remained in such terror as none but he can know, trembling in every limb, and the cold sweat starting from every pore, when suddenly there arose upon the night-wind the noise of distant shouting, and the roar of voices mingled70 in alarm and wonder.
Any sound of men in that lonely place, even though it conveyed a real cause of alarm, was something to him.
He regained71 his strength and energy at the prospect72 of personal danger; and springing to his feet, rushed into the open air. The broad sky seemed on fire.
Rising into the air with showers of sparks, and rolling one above the other, were sheets of flame, lighting73 the atmosphere for miles round, and driving clouds of smoke in the direction where he stood.
The shouts grew louder as new voices swelled74 the roar, and he could hear the cry of Fire! mingled with the ringing of an alarm-bell, the fall of heavy bodies, and the crackling of flames as they twined round some new obstacle, and shot aloft as though refreshed by food.
The noise increased as he looked.
It was like new life to him.
He darted76 onward--straight, headlong--dashing through brier and brake, and leaping gate and fence as madly as his dog, who careered with loud and sounding bark before him. He came upon the spot.
There were half-dressed figures tearing to and fro, some endeavouring to drag the frightened horses from the stables, others driving the cattle from the yard and out-houses, and others coming laden from the burning pile, amidst a shower of falling sparks, and the tumbling down of red-hot beams.
The apertures77, where doors and windows stood an hour ago, disclosed a mass of raging fire; walls rocked and crumbled78 into the burning well; the molten lead and iron poured down, white hot, upon the ground.
The clanking of the engine-pumps, and the spirting and hissing80 of the water as it fell upon the blazing wood, added to the tremendous roar.
He shouted, too, till he was hoarse81; and flying from memory and himself, plunged into the thickest of the throng82.
Hither and thither he dived that night:
now working at the pumps, and now hurrying through the smoke and flame, but never ceasing to engage himself wherever noise and men were thickest.
Up and down the ladders, upon the roofs of buildings, over floors that quaked and trembled with his weight, under the lee of falling bricks and stones, in every part of that great fire was he; but he bore a charmed life, and had neither scratch nor bruise83, nor weariness nor thought, till morning dawned again, and only smoke and blackened ruins remained. This mad excitement over, there returned, with ten-fold force, the dreadful consciousness of his crime.
He looked suspiciously about him, for the men were conversing84 in groups, and he feared to be the subject of their talk.
The dog obeyed the significant beck of his finger, and they drew off, stealthily, together.
He passed near an engine where some men were seated, and they called to him to share in their refreshment85.
He took some bread and meat; and as he drank a draught86 of beer, heard the firemen, who were from London, talking about the murder.
'He has gone to Birmingham, they say,' said one:
'but they'll have him yet, for the scouts87 are out, and by to-morrow night there'll be a cry all through the country.' He hurried off, and walked till he almost dropped upon the ground; then lay down in a lane, and had a long, but broken and uneasy sleep.
He wandered on again, irresolute88 and undecided, and oppressed with the fear of another solitary89 night. Suddenly, he took the desperate resolution to going back to London. 'There's somebody to speak to there, at all event,' he thought. 'A good hiding-place, too.
They'll never expect to nab me there, after this country scent.
Why can't I lie by for a week or so, and, forcing blunt from Fagin, get abroad to France?
Damme, I'll risk it.' He acted upon this impulse without delay, and choosing the least frequented roads began his journey back, resolved to lie concealed90 within a short distance of the metropolis91, and, entering it at dusk by a circuitous92 route, to proceed straight to that part of it which he had fixed93 on for his destination. The dog, though.
If any description of him were out, it would not be forgotten that the dog was missing, and had probably gone with him.
This might lead to his apprehension94 as he passed along the streets.
He resolved to drown him, and walked on, looking about for a pond:
picking up a heavy stone and tying it to his handkerchief as he went. The animal looked up into his master's face while these preparations were making; whether his instinct apprehended95 something of their purpose, or the robber's sidelong look at him was sterner than ordinary, he skulked96 a little farther in the rear than usual, and cowered97 as he came more slowly along.
When his master halted at the brink15 of a pool, and looked round to call him, he stopped outright98. 'Do you hear me call?
Come here!' cried Sikes. The animal came up from the very force of habit; but as Sikes stooped to attach the handkerchief to his throat, he uttered a low growl51 and started back. 'Come back!' said the robber. The dog wagged his tail, but moved not.
Sikes made a running noose99 and called him again. The dog advanced, retreated, paused an instant, and scoured100 away at his hardest speed. The man whistled again and again, and sat down and waited in the expectation that he would return.
But no dog appeared, and at length he resumed his journey.
