Then I began to think how I should get back, on which side must I go to find the cars--where was I, literally.

Then I sat down to wait, till I should see some policeman, or some kind-looking person, near me, to whom I could apply for this very necessary information.

In the meantime I took out my purse to see if I had the proper change.

Verily, not that, nor any change at all! My heart actually stood still.

Yes, it was very true: I had given away, right and left, during this Lent: caring nothing for money, and being very sure of more when this was gone.
