"Quite impossible, Mr. Merrick," he said. "This is not a bailable offense." "Are you sure?" "I am positive. This is an extradition case, of international importance.

The witness rooms are not at all like cells, though they have barred windows." "But why can't he get out on bail?" asked Viola, rather petulantly.
