'To ask the name of this town'

Colored illustration of an old man and young woman stopping in a bustling street scene to talk to another woman.

Silas Marner and Eppie travel to Lantern Yard to find out if Silas’s name has ever been cleared of the robbery he was accused of in his youth. Silas Marner finds the place much changed and keeps asking passersby the city’s name.
