Chapters 18 and 19

Chapter 18, Tracked, starts out with the woman at the hotel telling him to leave-it is no longer safe in the hotel. She sends him to the stable, where he hides, until he finds out that the night riders are coming after him. He also hears that he could be hanged, so he goes up into the loft. Then, he walks through the pigeon house as the Preventatives are knocking down the door into the stable. Jim runs out of the back of the pigeon house and down a country road until he runs into a barn, where he hides and spends the night. The next day, he comes back to the hotel, only to find it empty, and heads off to London.
In chapter 19, The Road to London, Jim walks towards London, but after walking just four out of 70 miles, he is robbed by gypsies. As he keeps walking, he meets someone at a tollbooth, who is suspicious. He claims to be a gypsy who can sing ballads. He is fed dinner, sings a ballad, and gets a little money to continue his journey.
Chapter 18 was interesting, because of all of the adventures that happened, but chapter 19 was a little more boring.
