We let the fire out and surprised that deficient person, Fritz. A little of the Bedlam cold kept me nice and quiet. The bed that night if you like but Heaven defend me from the blankets and the sheets and the pillows till I'm able to bear them!
But they remembered the money they were to have if they succeeded and the anger of wicked Richard if they failed, and they took up great pillows and held them down over the boys' faces until they were smothered. Perhaps the boys did not suffer at all, but just dreamed away into death.
