In this predicament, finding that the last punishment was delayed, he "thought proper to address himself to a grim jailoress, who came every day to throw him something to eat, in the same silent and cautious manner in which you would feed a mad dog."
Alberoni had persuaded the Queen of Spain to keep her husband shut up, as had the Princesse des Ursins. This was a certain means of governing a prince whose temperament and whose conscience equally attached him to his spouse. He was soon completely governed once more under lock and key, as it were, night and day. By this means the Queen was jailoress and prisoner at the same time.
Dad, you must come to Tony's hearing this afternoon, and put it tactfully to our friend the lieutenant that we don't like to have our donkey-man snatched away without our permission. She turned back to the jailoress. 'And now, where is the man? We should like to speak with him.
It banged in the faces of the disappointed spectators, who lingered hopefully a few moments longer, and then returned to their bargaining. Inside the big damp stone-walled corridor Constance drew a deep breath and smiled upon the jailoress; the jailoress smiled back. Then as a preliminary skirmish, Constance presented the two-franc piece; and the jailoress dropped a curtsy.

She had no permesso and it was too much trouble to get one. Besides, the sindaco's office didn't open till ten o'clock. She glanced down; there was a shining two-franc piece in her hand. Perhaps the jailoress would allow them to step inside away from the crowd, and she would explain? This sounded reasonable; the door opened farther and they squeezed through.
'Not really? Constance opened her eyes in shocked surprise. 'But surely, signora, you did not do it? The woman blinked. 'It would be impossible, signorina, she contented herself with saying. Constance, with grave concern, translated the sum of Tony's enormities to her father; and turned back to the jailoress apologetically.
After a second's wait snortingly impatient on Mr. Wilder's part; he was being pressed close by the none too clean citizens of Valedolmo the door was opened a very small crack by a frowsy jailoress. Her eye fell first upon the crowd, and she was disposed to close it again; but in the act she caught sight of the Signorina Americana dressed in white, smiling above a bouquet of oleanders.

Constance nodded and laughed. 'You have reason! We all know Gustavo may we go right up? The jailoress called the jailor. They talked aside; the two-franc piece was produced as evidence. The jailor with a great show of caution got out a bunch of keys and motioned them to follow.
