I have donned a gaoler's habit; the prison door stands open. Quick! up and away!" At this the holy man rose to his feet, and answered: "Doctor, take heed what you are saying. I have made the sacrifice of my life, and I admit it has cost me dear to make it.
These were committed to close custody, and the gaoler's name was Mr. True-Man. This True- Man was one of those that Emmanuel brought with him from his Father's court when at the first he made a war upon Diabolus in the town or Mansoul.
The period of gaol life afforded the Reformers some opportunity of studying a department of the Transvaal Administration which they had not before realized to be so badly in need of reform. The system if system it can be called upon which the gaol was conducted may be gathered from the gaoler's own words.
I thought the time had now arrived for making my little peace-offering; and yet, I felt as shy and nervous about it as did poor "Young John," the gaoler's son of the Marshalsea, when he went to call on Little Dorrit's father in the grand Bond Street hotel, and drew his humble present of a bundle of cigars from his coat-pocket.
The prisoner, who was seated at a rough deal table at the further end of the cell, here arose at the gaoler's order, and came to the window. A single glance sufficed to show that a very noticeable change had taken place in the appearance of Mathias. His face was pale and haggard, and the whole of one side of it, the eye, cheek bone, and forehead were bruised.
Toad, after due consultation with his friends, selected a handsome gold chain and locket set with pearls, which he dispatched to the gaoler's daughter, with a letter that even the Badger admitted to be modest, grateful, and appreciative; and the engine-driver, in his turn, was properly thanked and compensated for all his pains and trouble.
"The only way to my heart is by the road of honour; but here I only see complicated instances of falsehood, cowardice, and oppression." At this moment Jenkinson and the gaoler's two servants entered, hauling in a tall man very genteelly dressed. As soon as Mr. Thornhill perceived the prisoner and Mr.
In pursuance of the gaoler's compliance, Jenkinson was dispatched in search of Timothy Baxter, while we were amused with the assiduity of our youngest boy Bill, who had just come in and climbed up to Sir William's neck in order to kiss him.
The turnkey came to show her to the cell; and when Mary rose, the gaoler's wife said to her, "After you have seen your brother, my dear child, you had better come back again, and sit down here a little while, and then, perhaps, I can be of some use to you, in letting you know what can be done, and what is not allowed."
Afterwards, a prisoner dying in the gaol of the plague, the gaoler's wife, her husband being absent, gave leave to Isaac Penington to remove to another house, where he was shut up for six weeks; after which, by the procurement of the Earl of Ancram, a release was sent from the said Philip Palmer, by which he was discharged, after he had suffered imprisonment three-quarters of a year, with apparent hazard of his life, and that for no offence."
