¡¡¡¡If anyone had been watching her he would have thought her movements decidedly peculiar; for, on alighting, she went off at a great pace till she reached a certain number in a certain busy street; having found the place with some difficulty, she went into the doorway, looked up the dirty stairs, and, after standing stock still a minute, suddenly dived into the street, and walked away as rapidly as she came. This manoeuvre she repeated several times, to the great amusement of a black-eyed young gentleman lounging in the window of the building opposite. On returning for the third time, Jo gave herself a shake, pulled her hat over her eyes, and walked up the stairs, looking as if she were going to have all her teeth out. ¡¡¡¡There was a dentist's sign, among others which adorned the entrance, and, after staring a minute at the pair of artificial jaws which slowly opened and shut to draw attention to a fine set of teeth, the young gentleman put on his coat, took his hat, and went down to post himself in the opposite doorway, saying, with a smile and a shiver: ¡¡¡¡`It's like her to come alone, but if she has a bad time she'll need someone to help her home.' ¡¡¡¡In ten minutes Jo came running downstairs with a very red face, and the general appearance of a person who had just passed through a trying ordeal of some sort. ¡¡¡¡When she saw the young gentleman she looked anything but pleased, and passed him with a nod; but he followed, asking with an air of sympathy: ¡¡¡¡`Did you have a bad time?' ¡¡¡¡`Not very.' ¡¡¡¡`You got through quickly.' ¡¡¡¡`Yes, thank goodness!' ¡¡¡¡`Why did you go alone?'
