CHAPTER XXIII.
The last Meeting between Jack Sheppard and his Mother.
After escaping from the turner's house, Jack Sheppard skirted St.
Sepulchre's church, and hurrying down Snow Hill, darted into the first turning on the left.

Traversing Angel Court, and Green Arbour Court,--celebrated as one of Goldsmith's retreats,--he speedily reached Seacoal Lane, and pursuing the same course, which he and Thames had formerly taken, arrived at the yard at the back of Jonathan's habitation.
A door, it may be remembered, opened from Wild's dwelling into this yard.

Before he forced an entrance, Jack tried it, and, to his great surprise and delight, found it unfastened.

Entering the house, he found himself in a narrow passage leading to the back stairs.

He had not taken many steps when he perceived Quilt Arnold in the upper gallery, with a lamp in his hand.
