- I.
- FIRST DAY IN PRISON.
- To most of them I received the answer,--
- I was already perplexed--I was beginning to get vexed.
- I was thrown back upon the convicts again for my instructions.
- He said, when I complained to him,--
- II.
- AT NIGHT.
- I was glad when the four o'clock bell rung me up to my duties.
- III.
- SECOND DAY IN PRISON.
- I called, "Front!"
- A scowl came over her face, she hesitated, and then answered,--
- While she was gone Allen came to me and whispered,--
- I then called them all around me, and said to them,--
- IV.
- A QUARREL, AND DISCIPLINE.
- I called the other women to the spot, and they were soon parted.
- I called again, "Annie O'Brien, come here!"
- I laid my hand on her pale, cold cheek.
- She returned to her work; but in a moment she called to me,--
- I saw that I had possession of her so far as she had control of herself.
- She asked,--
- V.
- THE SUPERVISOR, AND THE RULES.
- When the Deputy came in, on his morning rounds, I asked him,--
- Superfudge! I thought to myself. I said,--
- I told her I didn't think it possible to attend to it that day.
- I looked round with her, and listened to her suggestions.
- A day or two afterwards, Allen whispered to me,--
- I did not wish to ask her who did it, because she had told me.
- VI.
- FIRST NIGHT ALONE IN PRISON.
- I had asked, "Shall their whole task be exacted of them?"
- I sprang from my bed, ran to the door, and called,--
- VII.
- THE MASTER AND THE RULES.
- He made no reply to that remark; but said sternly,--
- I sat down and wrote the Master a note after this wise:--
- VIII.
- MRS. HARDHACK.
- I looked in blank astonishment upon the human monster before me.
- IX.
- A BREAD-AND-WATER BOARDER.
- She went into her room. The other women were in theirs. I called,--
- I got it; and then followed him.
- I knew the water would be grateful to the poor thing.
- X.
- AN ARRIVAL.
- I stood behind the furnace a moment to notice what was going on.
- XI.
- INSIDE MANAGEMENT.
- XII.
- SUNDAY.
- XIII.
- LIFE AMONG THE LOWLY.
- XIV.
- INSPECTION OF PRIVATE APARTMENTS.
- The Deputy laughed good humoredly at my description, and said,--
- After he had gone out, O'Brien said to me,--
- XV.
- A DAY OF ODDS AND ENDS.
- O'Brien kept her temper wonderfully. She answered very quietly,--
- I turned to Mrs. Hardhack.
- I heard no more about going to the shop.
- I was wide awake--thoroughly aroused when that story was completed.
- XVI.
- A FRIGHT.
- He slackened his pace; but still said,--
- He came in quite early in the morning and said to me,--
- XVII.
- VISITING DAY.
- If I saw the dissatisfaction to be deep-rooted, I gave the command,--
- For the last time the steam woman asked,--
- I looked at my watch. "Yes, Allen, and five minutes past."
- XVIII.
- CALLAHAN AGAIN.
- She turned to me, and answered, but pleasantly,--
- I had opened the black cell door.
- I was not sorry for the mistake.
- XIX.
- DISCOMFORTS, AND THE END.
- I made a statement of some of these things to the Deputy. He said,--
- I went on,--
- When the Deputy came round I asked,--
- He said, "Yes."
- I went directly to the girl's cell.
- I was in her power, she could retaliate upon me.
