"My lord, I hope you agree with me," again repeated the merciless tyrant. "Yes, I suppose so," groaned the poor old man, slowly. "And you, warden?" Mr Harding was now stirred to action; he must speak and move, so he got up and took one turn before he answered.
However, upstairs he went, the waiter slowly preceding him; and on the door being opened the archdeacon was discovered standing in the middle of the room, erect, indeed, as usual, but oh! how sorrowful! and on the dingy sofa behind him reclined his patient wife. "Papa, I thought you were never coming back," said the lady; "it's twelve o'clock." "Yes, my dear," said the warden.
She knew, then, that they had brought her to a room above a saloon the Wolf, she supposed, for that was where Warden said he intended to bring her. She watched Slade fearfully, divining that he meant to attack her. She could see that determination in his eyes and in his manner. He was still grinning, but now the grin had become set, satyric, hideous. It was a mere smirk.
I've promised myself to make her happy, dear little woman, if I can, and sulking over my own disappointments isn't the way to do that," he reflected. So he roused himself to talk of other matters, and naturally of the sister at whose home they were to dine. "I don't see what made Kate ever marry a warden of state's prison. I should think life in such a place would be hateful."

From there it is two days' journey to Armylo, which is a large city on the sea, inhabited by Venetians, Pisans, Genoese, and all the merchants who come there; it is an extensive place, and contains about 400 Jews. At their head are the chief rabbi R. Shiloh Lombardo, R. Joseph, the warden, and R. Solomon, the leading man.
The warden cleverly seized the opportunity to take credit to himself for all the improvements, and to circulate industriously in the local papers the praise of the model penitentiary. But neither did he fail to take advantage of the new situation to tighten his grasp upon the reins of control.
