Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from It Is Never Too Late to Mend, Vol. 2 of 3: A Matter of Fact Romance
The turnkeys looked in their chief's face with a strange expression Of stupid wonder. Hawes caught this - his wrath rose higher. What d'ye stand staring at me like stuck pigs for? Come out, N O. 15. You all! Why don't you bring him out to the crank?' Hodges answered gloomily from the cell, Come and bring him yourself, if you can.' At such an address from a turnkey, Hawes, who had now mounted the last stair, gave a snort of surprise and wrath - then darted into the cell threatening the most horrible vengeance on the bones and body of poor Josephs, threats which he confirmed with a tremendous oath. But to that oath succeeded a sudden dead stupid staring silence; for running fiercely into the cell with rage in his face, threats and curses on his tongue, he had almost stumbled over a corpse.
