How to parse. ...

24 TltlE RELATIVE PRONOUN. [Par. 26. wards. There was no moon, which1 (together with his ignorance of the neighborhood) made him quicken his pace across the common. For some time he managed to keep the path, which was nothing but two cart ruts leading from one farm to another. Presently, however, a track that turned off to a gravel-pit, led him astray. When he had once gone wrong, he found that he could not find the path lie had lost. Through brambles, over furze-bushes, he scrambled onward, till, at last, he fell into a deep pit which, having been left by the peatcutters, had been filled with water oozing from the bog around, and would have drowned him, if he had not been able to swim. Suddenly, to his great joy, he saw a light, which 2 he wondered that he had not noticed before. He ran towards it, supposing it came from some cottage belonging to a shepherd he had seen in the morning keeping his sheep near the middle of the common. Just when lie was close on the light, he fell into another deep pool, which was so broad that he had great difficulty in swimming across it. Scrambling out, he looked round for the light he was seeking; but to his surprise, it seemed to be behind him. Just at this moment another light appeared, straight before him, which, when he approached it, retired from him. Thinking it was the torch of some traveller that, like himself, had lost his way, he shouted to the man to stop, and ran towards him; but, instead of stopping, the light ran away faster than before, seeming to choose the most miry and boggy spots it could find, so that poor Harry soon fell a third time into the water. I See Paragraph 25. 2 Wh7ich is not the Object of wondered.
