A greedy anxiety for view, for question, of this person came upon him.

He, too, wheeled round, and followed hastily in pursuit.

The man had already escaped from his sight into Vere Street, and the doctor broke into a soft run until he reached the corner, skirting which, the man was immediately in his view, but at a considerable distance from him.

As the doctor sprang upon the pavement the man turned round, and, evidently observing that he was pursued, quickened his steps impulsively.

The doctor was now absolutely determined to address him, and began openly to run.
