I set to work to pull a nail with my cord, and was able to do it after considerable labor, but there was no hurry at all. It all helped to put the long hours in! With the nail I made the reading-crack larger, in anticipation of the books which were to come, but was careful not to have it too big for the strip of wood to cover when it was swung back into place.
The other time we had outwitted them and gained many privileges of which they knew nothing, and Malvoisin had cheered me through the dark hours. Here there was no Malvoisin, no reading-crack, no friends, nothing to save us. They had us! We had staked the little bit of freedom we had on the chance of getting full freedom. It was a long chance, but we had taken it and lost!
We were also careful to leave nothing in the cell that would attract the attention of the guard, and Malvoisin and I conserved matches by lighting one cigarette with the other one, through the crack. Bromley had no reading-crack in his room, but with a nail and string soon made himself one. Standing on the platform, I could open the reading-crack and get several inches of light on my book.
