At last those words: and he gave out a shout which begat mouths of echo through the galleries of Colmoor.
On the morning of the fourth day when the gangs were once more taken out Hogarth was hardly conscious of frigid winds or agued limbs: for three days the great bell of Colmoor had not rung; and his ears were open.
Soon after this Hogarth was taken with vomitings, his heart retching at Colmoor. His dark cheeks jaundiced; those mobile nostrils of his small bony nose yawned, like an exhausted horse's; his face was all a light of eyes.
Your friend packed me off to America; but for some reasons I should prefer Golmoor old Colmoor, eh? I fear I am a voluptuary, my son, fond of comfort, and old things, and pretty things. And all that I shall have yet! Tut, O'Hara is not done with the world, nor it with him. As to Norfolk, I once knew a person in this neighbourhood "
"More Devil than God about Colmoor, it strikes me". "As though you knew! Suppose I strike you blind now with a flash of Him?" "I don't take your meaning, sir", said Bates, with a strange heart- bound and sense of awe. "Do you remember 33 of the quarry-gang, Fred?" "Yes". Hogarth whispered: "It was I who got him off". Bates whitened to the lips. "I I thought as much".
Hogarth got up, walked home meditating: and suddenly blushed. It was known! by mechanics in cocoa-rooms! that secret thing of his secret cell. And it was not believed! As for him, what was he now doing outside Colmoor? That question he asked himself, as he sat unsandaling his feet; and he commenced to dress himself again: but paused would first see Loveday.
These were led away by police blue-jackets, and Frankl groaned through the night in a box as cold as the cells of Colmoor. The next morning Quilter-Beckett, making a report in Hogarth's salon, mentioned the incident, saying: "Here are the names, with the sentences; I shall send the sailors home..." and Hogarth's eyes, resting on the document, chanced to catch that name of Frankl.
Then again Hogarth was whirled into night and space, and, toward morning, after the bumping climb of a van, was bidden to alight on moorland, where he spied, far off, set on a hill, a mighty palace of Romance, all grim, aloof, which was Colmoor.
To Hogarth the whole, so familiar, looked uplifted now, the sunlight of a more celestial essence. Westring he would buy though one memorable night in Colmoor he had arrived at the knowledge that it was not just that Westring should be anyone's; but then what one bought with his own diamonds was surely his own his name being Richard.
His first thought was his boots expecting to find them under his stretcher, and himself in flannels; but he had them still on, and also his work-clothes, humanity to the sick in the first stages not being in the Colmoor code. He spent half an hour in stealthily tearing a square foot from his shirt-tail; then, weary and sick, went to sleep.
