As she left the Police station Kate said - "I shall get a damn fine hiding when I get home."
I doubt she would have been in any hurry to get there.

Its provenance may be impeccable, but that doesn't mean it's accurate in every detail. As I said, it was probably only ever intended to be a rough aide-mémoire.
What do you expect at 2.55 am on a cold wet morning
Well one poster described the provenance as impeccable, that clearly is not the case, and it is another part of this mystery that does not stand up to close scrutiny, and therefore is unsafe to totally rely on.

It's not anatomically accurate or complete either. The sketch shows only one short length of small intestine draped over her right shoulder, when in fact the intestines were "drawn out to a large extent". I'd guess that Brown only intended the drawing to be a basic aide-memoire (hence the pithy annotations like "clot blood").
Reckon the lack of small intestines was a matter of good taste.
The descending colon is depicted by her left side. Explains some of the faecal matter. Also shows expertise in accessing the left kidney.

When she left that drunk tank it was noted that she didn't turn in the direction of the shortest route to where she lived with Kelly, she turned instead in the direction of the markets where she earn the money for food and her bed.
What she sold is anyone's guess but I reckon she sold herself and bought some tea for herself, some needles and pins, a thimble, a second-hand apron that needed repairs, 12 pieces of rag that she could use to patch other second hand clothes etc etc at the Clothes Fair at Petticoat Lane and put them in her pockets so she could mend
them. Then met her last customer.
She would have had time to make her way back to the area of Flower and dean Street where her lodgings were. She was seen to turn the opposite way to that location, but that doenst mean that she didnt turn around outside, or take another route back in that direction. She had ample time to make her way back and then return to Mitre Square
Either route would have take about the same time so, there was no quickest route.
yellow marks the routes she could have taken from police station of she had wanted to not withetanding any short cuts she knew of.
Green marks the routes back from Flower and dean Street location to Mitre Square
