We would speculate for a week over so trivial a thing as the last. Some convict given a month in solitary was an event. And yet we could learn nothing from such transient and ofttimes stupid Dantes who would remain in our inferno too short a time to learn knuckle-talk ere they went forth again into the bright wide world of the living.

"What is it?" he demanded over his shoulder.
