“And well my folly’s meed you gave, Who forfeited, to be your slave, All here and all beyond the grave!

And I was then beloved no more.” The whole conversation at Abbeytown turned upon the subject of the accident at the prison. It was well ascertained that the fire had originated in the clothes-room.
