The captain had youth on his side, and, diving into the narrow alley ways that constitute the older portion of Wood hatch, he moderated his pace and listened acutely. The sounds of pursuit died away in the distance, and he had already dropped into a walk when the hurried tap of the wooden leg sounded from one corner and a chorus of hurried voices from the other.
