And in the end, she went away in precisely the same state of ignorance. On the day they drove to the station she did, indeed, give one fleeting glimpse over the edge of her narrow prison-house of self-centered interest.
And when he was carried out the prison-house dead, although we had three houses, they permitted him to be carried out from neither of them; but, having hired a bier, they laid him out.
Therefore, it pleased the God who rules the heavens, the land, the sea, That the mistress of that mighty house looked tenderly on me. And when the Moor a-hunting went, one happy autumn day, She came into my prison-house and took my chains away; She bade me sit upon her lap, I answered with delight; Ah, many a gallant present she made to me that night!
I believe by true life and true education that the prison-house can be prevented from closing upon the growing child; that the giant is eager to awake; that, awakened, he makes the thoughts, the actions, the smiles and the words of even a child significant. I believe that an ordinary child thus awakened within, not only can but must become an extraordinary man or woman.

They feel that they have a sinful nature which keeps their will and reason in slavery, and makes sin a hard bondage, a miserable prison-house, from which they cannot escape. In short, they feel and know that they are fallen.
When I think that these precious souls are to-day shut up in the prison-house of slavery, my feelings overcome me, and I am almost ready to ask, "Does a righteous God govern the universe? and for what does he hold the thunders in his right hand, if not to smite the oppressor, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the spoiler?"
Whatever may be thought of particular faiths and sects, a belief in a life beyond this world is the only thing that pierces through the walls of our prison-house, and lets hope shine in upon a scene, that would be otherwise bewildered and desolate. The proselytism of the Atheist is, indeed, a dismal mission.
There was no prison-house in Charles Town, but Stede Bonnet's wicked crew, including Ben Greenway for his captors were not making any distinctions in regard to common men taken on a pirate ship were clapped into the watch-house and a crowded and uncomfortable place it was and put under a heavy and military guard.
