Who shall venture to follow her to her prison-cell, and to trace the tide of back-flowing thought which rolled like a receding wave from the present to the past? Now, indeed, she left little behind her to regret.
Those three who could have spoken for him he had left to their own devices as punishment for an offence which in reality was his own. He had never before set out in such a poverty-stricken state. He did not even come like one who had something to forgive: his prison-cell had left him nothing.
If innocence gives strength, I shall soon be at liberty." Henrique smiled scornfully, and hurried the young man away. "You will not be alone; your prison-cell is shared by another Phenee, the Jew. An old friend of yours, is he not?" Henrique asked. "Friend no! I have only spoken to him once in my life. What is he arrested for?" "Being a receiver of stolen goods," grimly.
He was scarcely more than a puppy at the time. Bob says Luke couldn't help it. He HAD to do it." "Where is Bob now?" asked the Doctor. "Down at the prison. I wanted him to come with me here to see you; but he won't leave the prison while Luke is there. He just sits outside the door of the prison-cell and won't move. He doesn't even eat the food they give him.
It seemed to her that the doors were about to open, that this man who had loved her so much would appear before her, and that she would hear his voice as she heard it for the last time in his grim prison-cell. She fought against these foolish fears, lit a lamp, and went through this house now hers in which everything spoke so forcibly of its former owner.

The quest of the candle would take the guide to the closet in the guard-room, and, risking little to learn much, Dick struck a match and peered into the stuffy little room, more like a corn-crib than a prison-cell. "Hist, Jack! is it you?" he called.
We collared him soon, though, and bundled him into a cab for Scotland Yard, where, upon his arrival, the scoundrel again caused a rumpus by jumping and twisting around when they went to put him into a prison-cell, so that it required the combined efforts of four fat policemen to hold him down. "Gosh!

His long imprisonment had so intensified his timid suspicion and his belief in some diabolic fortune favouring Tito, that he had not dared to pursue him, except under cover of a crowd or of the darkness; he felt, with instinctive horror, that if Tito's eyes fell upon him, he should again be held up to obloquy, again be dragged away his weapon would be taken from him, and he should be cast helpless into a prison-cell.
