Have you thought of anything ?" "I have thought of all sort of things since you left us this morning, Harry, but they are like yours, just vague sort of schemes that do not seem possible when you try to work them out.
I do not know whether they let you inside the prisons to sell everything to the prisoners, because if they did I might go in with something and see Marie, and find out how she could be got out." Harry shook his head. "I do not think anyone would be allowed in like that, but if they did it would only be a few to whom the privilege would be granted." "Yes, I thought of that, Harry; but one of them might be bribed perhaps to let me take her place." "It might be possible," Harry said, "but there would be a terrible risk, and I don't think any advantage to compensate for it.
Even if you did get to her and spoke to her, we should still be no nearer to getting her out.
Still we mustn't be disheartened.
We can hardly expect to hit upon a scheme at once, and I don't think either of our heads is very clear to-day; let us think it over quietly, and perhaps some other idea may occur to one of us, I expect it will be to you.
