As he stood gazing at the spectacle that had so saddened him, an
expression of delightful hope broke forth upon his face, and made it
look as if a bright gleam of sunshine fell across it. And, if moral
sunshine could be discerned on physical objects, just such a brightness
would have shone through the gloomy street, gladdening all the dusky
windows, and causing the poor children to look beautiful and happy. Not
only in that wretched street would the light of gladness have appeared;
it might have spread from thence all round the earth; for there was now
a thought on the mind of Mr. Raikes, that was destined, in no long time,
to make the whole world brighter than it had been hitherto.
