Chapter XV
“What’s this round your neck?” asked Jude with affected calmness. “The key of my box that’s at the station.” They bustled about and got him some supper, and made him up a temporary bed, where he soon fell asleep. Both went and looked at him as he lay. “He called you Mother two or three times before he dropped off,” murmured Jude.
