Threatened, he answered in parable. He was then taken to the torture-cell, stripped of all clothing, and a thin, strong rope passed under his arms. He was suddenly drawn up, and dropped. This was repeated until the cord around the man's body cut the skin and his form was covered with blood. The physically sensitive nature of the man gave way and he recanted.
And Henry Auverquerque, Earl of Grantham, told John Baron Colepepper the whole anecdote how the waif-flask had been carried to the Admiralty, about the parchment of the Comprachicos, the jussu regis, countersigned Jeffreys, and the confrontation in the torture-cell at Southwark, the proof of all the facts acknowledged by the Lord Chancellor and by the Queen; the taking the test under the nave, and finally the admission of Lord Fermain Clancharlie at the commencement of the sitting.
Poe pictured an atrocious horror like that a man being held in a torture-cell in such a position that he could not stand erect. It almost broke a man's nerve, to say nothing of his neck, just to read about it.... I had seen this thing before yet never as this time. Queer how these things happen!
No one that saw his firmness in the torture-cell would have guessed how weak he was within, and how stoutly his great heart had to battle against a sensitive nature and nerves tuned too high. He gave half an hour to the weakness of nature, and then he was all duty once more. He went first into Robinson's cell. He found him worse than ever: despair as well as hatred gleamed in his eye.
