Moll Flanders Section 17

In which the lady, having fled her former circumstances, journeys through the country with artful caution and encounters various adventures that test her wit and resolve, including a narrowly avoided theft and a false accusation that lands her in the dread confines of Newgate Prison. Amid the horrors and despair of confinement, she reflects on her life with mingled repentance and hardness, until the unexpected arrival of a notorious figure from her past rekindles her sorrow and prompts a profound change within her spirit.
