With a lighter heart
but still sore afraid
Florence felt herself released
and tripped off to the corner. When she reached it
she looked back and saw the head of Good Mrs. Brown peeping out of the low wooden passage
where she had issued her parting injunctions; likewise the fist of Good Mrs. Brown shaking towards her. But though she often looked back afterwards - every minute
at least
in her nervous recollection of the old woman - she could not see her again.
Florence remained there
looking at the bustle in the street
and more and more bewildered by it; and in the meanwhile the clocks appeared to have made up their minds never to strike three anymore. At last the steeples rang out three o'clock; there was one close by
so she couldn't be mistaken; and - after often looking over her shoulder
and often going a little way
and as often ing back again
lest the all-powerful spies of Mrs. Brown should take offence - she hurried off
as fast as she could in her slipshod shoes
holding the rabbit-skin tight in her hand.
All she knew of her father's offices was that they belonged to Dombey and Son
and that that was a great power belonging to the City. So she could only ask the way to Dombey and Son's in the City; and as she generally made inquiry of children - being afraid to ask grown people - she got very little satisfaction indeed. But by dint of asking her way to the City after a while
and dropping the rest of her inquiry for the present
she really did advance
by slow degrees
towards the heart of that great region which is governed by the terrible Lord Mayor.
她对她父亲的营业所所知道的只是它属于董贝父子公司，而且还知道它在这个城市里是声势赫赫的，所以她只能打听到城里董贝父子公司的路怎么走；由于她一般只向孩子们打听——她怕问成年人——，所以她确实难以得到满意的答复。但是过了一会儿以后，由于她只打听到城里去的路怎么走，而把问题的其余部分暂时省略不提，因此她真的向着由那位厉害的市长管辖着的伟大地区的中心逐渐逐渐地步近了。
Tired of walking
repulsed and pushed about
stunned by the noise and confusion
anxious for her brother and the nurses
terrified by what she had undergone
and the prospect of encountering her angry father in such an altered state; perplexed and frightened alike by what had passed
and what was passing
and what was yet before her; Florence went upon her weary way with tearful eyes
and once or ice could not help stopping to ease her bursting heart by crying bitterly. But few people noticed her at those times
in the garb she wore: or if they did
believed that she was tutored to excite passion
and passed on. Florence
too
called to her aid all the firmness and self-reliance of a character that her sad experience had prematurely formed and tried: and keeping the end she had in view steadily before her
steadily pursued it.
It was full o hours later in the afternoon than when she had started on this strange adventure
when
escaping from the clash and clangour of a narrow street full of carts and waggons
she peeped into a kind of wharf or landing-place upon the river-side
where there were a great many packages
casks
and boxes
strewn about; a large pair of wooden scales; and a little wooden house on wheels
outside of which
looking at the neighbouring masts and boats
a stout man stood whistling
with his pen behind his ear
and his hands in his pockets
as if his day's work were nearly done.
