What might befall himself was of no moment. He entertained but one design, to become again what he had been, the supreme adventurer, the prince of plunderers, to lose himself once more in the delirium of adventurous days and peril-haunted nights, to reincarnate the Lone Wolf and in his guise loot the world anew, to court forgetfulness even at the prison's gates....
I form plans against the smugglers Ned's brotherly advice I continue to visit old Riddle He presents me with a cutter My first lessons in sailing Reception of my present at home Aunt Deb again gives her opinion A present in return Sudden disappearance of Mark, which leads to a further expression of sentiments on the part of Aunt Deb I visit Leighton Hall My interview with the Squire I obtain permission to visit Mark in prison "Better than doing nothing" I console Old Roger "A prison's a bad place for a boy" Returning homewards, I unexpectedly gain some important information The barn The smuggler's conference Rather too near to be pleasant I contrive to escape Am pursued and captured by the smugglers, but finally released Aunt Deb's disapproval of my friendship for Mark Riddle.
You knew already in Vienna to what charge you were liable, and you came directly to Hungary in the hope that if you could ally yourself with some propertied lady, your honorable person might be defended, thus practising fresh deceit against others. And now again I ask you, whether you have the soul to wish, on the prison's threshold, to drag an innocent maiden with you?"
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.
As it shut behind him, the sound of his footsteps instantly died away. The walls must have been as thick as a prison's. I suppose I was what people in books call 'stunned'. The illumination during the past few minutes had been so dazzling that my brain could not master it.

I don't suppose we shall see much more of him here, for Bob Hopley says that so sure as he catches him poaching, he shall speak out pretty plainly, so as to get him sent away. He says that many a time he has let him off with a good licking, sooner than get him sent to prison, for he don't think prison's good for young men like him."
'You've had law, he said, crossing his legs and elevating his eyebrows: 'laws have been made a' purpose for you; a wery handsome prison's been made a' purpose for you; a parson's kept a purpose for you; a constitootional officer's appointed a' purpose for you; carts is maintained a' purpose for you and yet you're not contented!

Young Blanchard grunted to himself, gripped his stick, from one end of which was suspended his carpet-bag, and walked to the wicket at the side of the prison's main entrance. He rang a bell that jangled with tremendous echoes among the naked walls within; then there followed the rattle of locks as the sidegate opened, and a warder looked out to ask Will his business.
It so happened that he was located in the next bed to mine, and I had thus no difficulty in finding an occasion to gratify my curiosity, and the following dialogue took place on the first day of his arrival. "Well, what news have you brought from Millbank?" "Oh, nothing particular; the prison's full, and a good many back on their ticket." "How long have you done?" "Nine months."
