Barnaby Rudge Chapter 68

In which Barnaby and his father, newly freed from their irons amid the chaos of a burning Newgate, seek refuge in the countryside, where Barnaby tenderly tends to his feeble parent and anxiously awaits a hoped-for reunion. Returning alone to the city’s turmoil, Barnaby encounters the fierce tumult of the riots, rescues the injured Hugh from the fray, and, bearing witness to scenes of dreadful conflagration and despair, leads him away to safety beneath a quiet sky.
