Hide and Seek

CHAPTER IV. FATE WORKS, WITH ZACK FOR AN INSTRUMENT. A quarter of an hour's rapid walking from his father's door, took Zack well out of the neighborhood of Baregrove Square, and launched him in vagabond independence loose on the world.

Zack loosed as Fate's instrument turns Hiding into Seeking — plot hinge at mid-book — so plot scores 81.

It was in consequence of this extraordinary resemblance, that her own English name of Mary had been, from the first, altered and Italianized by Mr. and Mrs. Blyth, and by all intimate friends, into "Madonna."

Mary renamed Madonna by resemblance to Raphael — cast as living picture and foundling — so cast scores 84.

CHAPTER XI. THE GARDEN DOOR. "Hit or miss, I'll chance it to-night" Those words were the first that issued from Mat's lips on the morning after Mr. Blyth's visit

Mat's night-chance compresses late seeking into one door — pace as tramp resolve — so pace scores 79.

OPENING CHAPTER. A CHILD'S SUNDAY. At a quarter to one o'clock, on a wet Sunday afternoon, in November 1837, Samuel Snoxell, page to Mr. Zachary Thorpe, of Baregrove Square, London, left the area gate with three umbrellas under his arm

Exact clock, weather, three umbrellas — Dickensian comic documentary — so prose scores 81.

in the year 1837—Baregrove Square was the farthest square from the city, and the nearest to the country, of any then existing in the north-western suburb of London. But, by the time fourteen years more had elapsed—that is to say, in the year 1851—Baregrove Square had lost its distinctive character

Suburb mapped across 1837→1851 change — world as growing London fringe — so world scores 82.

"Zack," who was trotting along under protest, with his hat half off his head, hanging as far back from his father's side as he possibly could, and howling all the time at the utmost pitch of a very powerful pair of lungs.

Howling child under umbrellas hooks comic household before circus and seeking — so hook scores 83.

DEAF AND DUMB!!!… Mr. J. has taken the liberty of entitling this Marvel of Nature, The Mysterious Foundling; no one knowing who her father is, and her mother having died soon after her birth

Foundling billed as deaf-mute marvel — premise of nature-drawn mute heroine — so innov scores 85.

"Give us hold of your hand, Zack—and take the leavings of me back, along with you." So the noble nature of the man unconsciously asserted itself in his simple words. So the two returned to the old land together. The first kiss with which his dead sister's child welcomed him back, cooled the Tramp's Fever for ever

Seeking ends in kinship rest rather than bloody revenge — tramp fever cooled by child's kiss — so ending scores 82.
