"What the devil's noise is this in the ward?" he said. "What! man and woman together in the same cell? that is against rule. I will have decency under my rule, by Saint Peter of the Fetters!" "Get thee downstairs, thou drunken beast," said Lambourne; "seest thou not the lady and I would be private?"
