'Mummy says, she begins, 'that she doesn't know who I is, I'se Baby, and got losted years ago, but Mummy loves me. Paul returns quickly, 'Is this true? he asks.
His gaolers listen to him not without a certain interest. They also begin to dream ... they dream of a free country, from which they are separated by an enormous stretch of land, a country that they can hardly conceive.

"That depends on how long they have been in the country," interrupts a brisk little man, rising quickly to his feet, and assuming a legal air. "Mr. Sprig! you are entirely behind the age. It matters not how long these gentlemen from Ireland have been in the country. They take to politics like rats to good cheese.
