Water baby Tom (8)

He looked at his own wrist, and tried to rub the soot off, and wondered whether it ever come off.
Then looking round he suddenly saw, standing close to him, a little ugly, black, ragged figure, with bleared eyes and grinning white teeth.
He turned on it angrily.
What did such a little black ape want in that sweet young lady's room ? And behold, it was himself, reflected in a great mirror, the like of which Tom had never seen before.
And Tom, for the first time in his life, found out that he was dirty; and burst into tears with shame and anger ; and turned to sneak up the chimney again and hide, and upset the fender, and threw the fire-irons down, with a noise as of ten thousand tin kettles tied to ten thousand mad dogs' tails.
