him.
"They's coming TO get you. Dolby,
shouted one and the corridors OF the jai
resounded with the laughter OF the othel
prisoners.
Another prisoner cried: "They are a
the door, Dolby, and one OF them has
rope" All through the night the prison
ers kept jeering the terrified wretch
who. ashy white with fright, COVER
ed in the darkest corner OF his cell
