"Yes, he is a bad man, but I am sorry for him. I don't like to think of one I have been with so long in the walls of a prison. I suppose it can't be helped, though."
"How did you come to be with him?" asked the old man, in a tone of interest.
"I don't know. I have been with him as long as I can remember. You used to know him, didn't you?"
"A little," said the old man, hastily.
"Where was it?"
"In England—long ago."
"In England. Was he born in England?" asked Tony, in surprise.
"Yes."
"And you, too?"
"Yes, I am an Englishman."
