Among them many who have tasted the college prison's dreary hospitality was a lively young fellow from one of the Southern states of America, whose first year's experience of German university life was rather peculiar.
When "beds down" was called, his head was still full of one thought: old Tom Bates; and he could not sleep; heard the bell ring for the change of warders; the vast silence of the prison's night; and still his brain revolved old Tom. The stealthy slipper of the night-warder passed and re-passed. Anon a click of metal on metal, and the bull's-eye searched him.
This object is usually the tightening of the prison's grip upon the convict; not only to strengthen the bonds which confine his body, but to bring his spirit or soul under more complete subjection and to make him feel that so far from moral reform being the end sought in his incarceration, he will best consult his private interests by abandoning all thoughts of decency and honor, and acting, with the officials, against the welfare and hopes of his own fellows.
"Better than your company, Saint Giles," replied Sheppard; "so, shut the door, and make yourself scarce." "That boy'll never rest till he finds his vay to Bridewell," observed Sharples. "Or the street," returned Jack: "mind my words, the prison's not built that can keep me." "We'll see that, young hempseed," replied Sharples, shutting the hatch furiously in his face, and locking it.
Few people were abroad in Glasgow at that time of day and there was no danger of recognition. The trip to London was uneventful. At Euston Station we were met by Captain Robinson.

"Prison's a dreadful remedy," murmured Hilary. The old butler answered stoutly: "There ain't but one way o' treatin' them low fellers ketch hold o' them until they holler!" Hilary was about to reply when he found himself alone.
And all the while Ignacio's voice chimed in. "Kill 'em! Kill 'em!" The prisoners seemed about to have a very unpleasant experience indeed. There was no one to restrain the crowd except the soldiers and they sympathized with the angry people. And the crowd seemed to know that; they surged nearer. "A prison's too good for them!" they roared.
That same sad night a group of men, close-guarded, travelled to Columbus, that city of great prisons and asylums, and one of those guarded men was poor Semantha's lover, alas! her convicted lover now; and she, having cast from her her proudest hope, her high ambition, trusting a little in his innocence, trusting entirely in his love, now followed him steadily to the prison's very gate.
As I began by saying, or rather strove to say, for I have been overtaken by weakness, and cannot speak my mind, I cannot claim authority over my child as would another man. How can I exercise authority from between a prison's bars?" "She would obey your slightest wish," said Mrs Crawley. "I could express no wish," said he.
