“It was Nick Jasniff!”
“So it was!”
“But how in the world did he get here?”
“I don’t know. I thought he was in prison!”

“And his sentence can’t be up yet. The time is too short.”
“Maybe he broke jail or got out sooner on account of good behavior. You know they give prisoners some time off if they behave themselves well.”
“You don’t think we could be mistaken?”
