Sir, said Christian, I was bid go this way by a man called Evangelist, who directed me also to yonder gate, that I might escape the wrath to come; and as I was going thither I fell in here.
But why did not you look for the steps? [Help asked.]
Fear followed me so hard, that I fled the next way, and fell in[, Christian replied.]
