"I don't know where the money goes; but I know we are worked to death. I am dying by inches."
"Why must I be up an hour later than the rest to receive the keys?"
"Because you have them in charge during the night, those that stay in the prison. If you are out, I take them."
"Out! What time have I to go out?"
"Three evenings in the week, after the prisoners are locked up, if you wish."
"What time have I then?"
"You can be gone till four o'clock in the morning, if you like."
"When shall I sleep?"
"You can make your own arrangements for that. Perhaps on the way, if you take a horse car."
"I am afraid to go out evenings alone; but in that relief I can get a bath."
