When "Mac" and his fellow dynamiters were sentenced to twenty years apiece, Peter felt that he had atoned for all his sins, and he ventured timidly to point out to McGivney that the cost of living was going up all the time, and that he had kept his promise not to wink at a woman for six months.

He had heard Ingolby's wild words, and he realized the situation.

She thinks my poor, worthless life is safe enough as indeed it is who cares to attack me? and even if it were not safe, what would that be to her?
