He had left the hall door open after his visit to the front, and some wandering bird of the night had entered the house. No need for him to go now. No need to hide either from the hangman's rope or the felon's cell. The fool above had saved him. He turned and ran up stairs again just as the prisoner in his furious efforts to escape wrenched the handle from the door.
I know more of them than you do; and I repeat that, in order to vindicate your honor fully, it may be necessary to prosecute Malcolm, Lord Vincent, with the utmost rigor of the law; to bring him to the felon's dock; to send him to the hulks. Now, are you willing that this should be done?" Claudia turned very pale and answered: "Let the man have justice, papa, if it places him on the scaffold."
The door was pulled open, and in his usual style, he said, "Get in." I stepped in. Slam went the door. Click went the lock, and I was in a felon's cell! These rooms are about four feet wide, seven feet long, and seven feet high. In many of the cells two men are confined. These rooms are entirely too small for the accommodation of two prisoners.
And surely it was a sight to move the heart to see this patriot this man of pure and stainless life, this man of exalted character, of noble soul, and glorious principles standing once more in that spot where twenty years before he stood confronting the same foe in the same righteous and holy cause standing once more at that bar whence, twenty years before, he was led off manacled to a felon's doom for the crime of loving Ireland!

They entered. The afternoon service was proceeding. The organ droned sadly in its iron cage to a few musical amateurs. Some nursery maids and foreign sailors stared about within the spiked felon's dock which shut off the body of the cathedral, and tried in vain to hear what was going on inside the choir.

I wondered to find not one of them dressed in felon's garb; but on reflection I concluded that they had plundered the crew and the people who had had charge of them and of the Cyprus, and had forced all those they drove out of the brig to change clothes before quitting the vessel. "However, it was my immediate policy to prove my sincerity.
He did not think it could even come to his standing in the felon's dock, subject to the curious gaze of a hundred eyes, the indifferent regard of the stern judge, the In the midst of these bitter thoughts, which were indeed disputations with his fears, the fly had stopped at the jail gate, and Mr. Dodge, with a cheerful air, observed: "We must get out here, if you please, Mr. Yorke."
It was Jimmie Dale, Jimmie Dale, Jimmie, Dale, the millionaire, the lion of society and there was ignominy for an honoured name, and shame and disaster and convict stripes and sullen penitentiary walls or death!
