"
Yes
,
sir
,
I
'm
the
man
,
"
replied
Desmas
interestedly
.
"
These
rooms
are
not
as
comfortable
as
they
might
be
,
are
they
?
"
The
warden
's
even
teeth
showed
in
a
friendly
,
yet
wolfish
,
way
.
"
They
certainly
are
not
,
Mr.
Desmas
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
,
standing
very
erect
and
soldier-like
.
"
I
did
n't
imagine
I
was
coming
to
a
hotel
,
however
.
"
He
smiled
.
"
There
is
n't
anything
special
I
can
do
for
you
,
is
there
,
Mr.
Cowperwood
?
"
began
Desmas
curiously
,
for
he
was
moved
by
a
thought
that
at
some
time
or
other
a
man
such
as
this
might
be
of
service
to
him
.
"
I
've
been
talking
to
your
lawyer
.
"
Cowperwood
was
intensely
gratified
by
the
Mr.
So
that
was
the
way
the
wind
was
blowing
.
Well
,
then
,
within
reason
,
things
might
not
prove
so
bad
here
.
He
would
see
.
He
would
sound
this
man
out
.
"
I
do
n't
want
to
be
asking
anything
,
Warden
,
which
you
can
not
reasonably
give
,
"
he
now
returned
politely
.
"
But
there
are
a
few
things
,
of
course
,
that
I
would
change
if
I
could
.
I
wish
I
might
have
sheets
for
my
bed
,
and
I
could
afford
better
underwear
if
you
would
let
me
wear
it
.
This
that
I
have
on
annoys
me
a
great
deal
.
"
"
They
're
not
the
best
wool
,
that
's
true
enough
,
"
replied
Desmas
,
solemnly
.
"
They
're
made
for
the
State
out
here
in
Pennsylvania
somewhere
.
I
suppose
there
's
no
objection
to
your
wearing
your
own
underwear
if
you
want
to
.
I
'll
see
about
that
.
And
the
sheets
,
too
.
We
might
let
you
use
them
if
you
have
them
.
We
'll
have
to
go
a
little
slow
about
this
.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
that
take
a
special
interest
in
showing
the
warden
how
to
tend
to
his
business
.
"
"
I
can
readily
understand
that
,
Warden
,
"
went
on
Cowperwood
briskly
,
"
and
I
'm
certainly
very
much
obliged
to
you
.
You
may
be
sure
that
anything
you
do
for
me
here
will
be
appreciated
,
and
not
misused
,
and
that
I
have
friends
on
the
outside
who
can
reciprocate
for
me
in
the
course
of
time
.
"
He
talked
slowly
and
emphatically
,
looking
Desmas
directly
in
the
eye
all
of
the
time
.
Desmas
was
very
much
impressed
.
"
That
's
all
right
,
"
he
said
,
now
that
he
had
gone
so
far
as
to
be
friendly
.
"
I
ca
n't
promise
much
.
Prison
rules
are
prison
rules
.
But
there
are
some
things
that
can
be
done
,
because
it
's
the
rule
to
do
them
for
other
men
when
they
behave
themselves
.
You
can
have
a
better
chair
than
that
,
if
you
want
it
,
and
something
to
read
too
.
If
you
're
in
business
yet
,
I
would
n't
want
to
do
anything
to
stop
that
.
We
ca
n't
have
people
running
in
and
out
of
here
every
fifteen
minutes
,
and
you
ca
n't
turn
a
cell
into
a
business
office
--
that
's
not
possible
.
It
would
break
up
the
order
of
the
place
.
Still
,
there
's
no
reason
why
you
should
n't
see
some
of
your
friends
now
and
then
.
As
for
your
mail
--
well
,
that
will
have
to
be
opened
in
the
ordinary
way
for
the
time
being
,
anyhow
.
I
'll
have
to
see
about
that
.
I
ca
n't
promise
too
much
.
You
'll
have
to
wait
until
you
come
out
of
this
block
and
down-stairs
.
Some
of
the
cells
have
a
yard
there
;
if
there
are
any
empty
--
"
The
warden
cocked
his
eye
wisely
,
and
Cowperwood
saw
that
his
tot
was
not
to
be
as
bad
as
he
had
anticipated
--
though
bad
enough
.
The
warden
spoke
to
him
about
the
different
trades
he
might
follow
,
and
asked
him
to
think
about
the
one
he
would
prefer
.
"
You
want
to
have
something
to
keep
your
hands
busy
,
whatever
else
you
want
.
You
'll
find
you
'll
need
that
.
Everybody
here
wants
to
work
after
a
time
.
I
notice
that
.
"
Cowperwood
understood
and
thanked
Desmas
profusely
.
