In this false persuasion of wealth and forgetfulness of our own wretched state, which is but a wandering about for a while in this prison of this world, till we be brought unto the execution of death, we forget in our folly both ourselves and our jail, and our under-jailors the angels and devils both, and our chief jailor God too God, who forgetteth not us, but seeth us all the while well enough.
Hockins had barely recovered his footing, and managed to restrain his feelings a little, when the door was again opened and the Interpreter re-entered with the jailor. "I come break chains," said the former. He pointed to the chains which bound our travellers. They were quickly removed by two under-jailors and their chief. "Now com vis me."
At Mazas the under-jailors jeered at Thiers, Nadaud reprimanded them severely. "General, you are a prisoner." "My person is inviolable." "Unless you are caught red-handed, in the very act." "Well," said Bedeau, "I am caught in the act, the heinous act of being asleep." They took him by the collar and dragged him to a fiacre.
