"Yes, ma'am; and I never will do it again. Will you get me out?"
"I'll try; but you must always treat me with respect, and all of the other officers in the same way. I shall never intercede for you again."
"I will never give you any reason to."
When the Deputy came round I asked,—
"Is Mary Muran in solitary for mimicking me?"
He said, "Yes."
"Was it for the second offense? Had she been admonished once?"
"She knew better."
"Your Rules and Regulations make no conditions that they know better. They shall be admonished once, and, for the second offense punished."
"They wouldn't do exactly the same thing twice, perhaps; but they would do something as near like it as they could."
