Quietly he purloins money and jewelry. The child awakes, and while surprised at seeing the man, is unafraid; and her little heart touched by the haggard appearance of the miscreant, she brings forth bread and wine, which the poor unfortunate, driven into wrongdoing through privation rather than desire, hungrily stows away.
