We didn't get out till six in the morning; a long, long time.

Cold enough in the bitter winter weather, that had then come in, and a long, weary, wretched time to wait and watch for daylight.
Well, first of all, we had to get the cell door open.

That was the easiest part of the lot.

There's always men in a big gaol that all kinds of keys and locks are like large print to.

They can make most locks fly open like magic; what's more, they're willing to do it for anybody else, or show them how.
