"We haven't any to let," said she, shutting the door. ¡¡¡¡ Jude looked discomfited, and the boy distressed. "Now, Jude," said Sue, "let me try. You don't know the way." ¡¡¡¡ They found a second place hard by; but here the occupier, observing not only Sue, but the boy and the small children, said civilly, "I am sorry to say we don't let where there are children"; and also closed the door. ¡¡¡¡ The small child squared its mouth and cried silently, with an instinct that trouble loomed. The boy sighed. "I don't like Christminster!" he said. "Are the great old houses gaols?" ¡¡¡¡ "No; colleges," said Jude; "which perhaps you'll study in some day." ¡¡¡¡ "I'd rather not!" the boy rejoined. ¡¡¡¡ "Now we'll try again," said Sue. "I'll pull my cloak more round me.... Leaving Kennetbridge for this place is like coming from Caiaphas to Pilate! ... How do I look now, dear?" ¡¡¡¡ "Nobody would notice it now," said Jude.
