"My friend, listen," he whispered, "I have something to say to you." Surendra Nath turned over in his charpoy. "Speak soft, I pray," he said. "My head is on fire," continued Desmond. "I cannot sleep. I have been thinking. What is life worth to us? Can anything be worse than our present lot? Do you ever think of escape?" "What good, sir? I have said so before. We are fettered; what can we do?

"If I hadn't yanked you away you'd have been run over." "But where are we?"
"We have all been in love, you see; your love story is a little farther back than mine. We all know the bitterness of it don't we?"

I have to be harsh if I am to keep my boys under control! But I can do it, although they are a stiff-necked lot! Do you see those four sacks hanging on the wall? They are just as frightened of them as you used to be of the cane behind the looking-glass.
"But you didn't come just to make me envious of Mungold's studio, did you?" And he pushed forward a chair for his visitor. The latter, however, declined it with an affable motion.
