Night of peril and pursuit ends at a bare doorstep
A terrified narrator flees a brutal assailant through city streets seeking shelter. After hours of fear and fatigue, she hides in a dark entry and, near midnight, reaches a doorway on Brownlow Street. A sleepy girl opens to reveal Mark Christian is missing, leaving the narrator penniless and homeless as Chapter XX begins.
