They loaded me with chains, too, though the walls were ten feet thick, and the door iron, and bolted and double-bolted outside. At last, one night, my jailer came to my cell drunk.

Here it isn't safe. Besides, if they know who you are, I might be compromised. Poor Jean! Heavens! For a volley of rifle shot poured down the street, a rush of feet followed; and Plon fled precipitously to his den, double-bolted his door, and rolled his mattress round him for protection.

Brodie, thinking it was a chase, cried to drive like the devil. Geordie obeyed to the letter, and dashed on like lightning. The coach stopped, and was instantly surrounded by a number of people, who opened the door, and pulling the three inmates out, led them into a large building, the door of which was double-bolted, and made a tremendous noise as it revolved on its hinges.
