"And will you also promise never to speak of our visit to this cell to-night?"
"Yes, sir! yes, sir! and swear to it!"
"And never to mention how Mrs. Berners and her child were saved?"
"Oh yes, sir!"
"Nor even that she was saved at all?"
"Oh yes, sir! and swear to it!"
"And you will never betray the secret, by word or sign?"
"No, sir!"
"But keep it to the day of your death?"
"Yes, sir!"
