It is not to be wondered that we prisoners were all desirous enough to see these brave, topping gentlemen, that were talked up to be such as their fellows had not been known, and especially because it was said they would in the morning be removed into the press-yard, having given money to the head master of the prison, to be allowed the liberty of that better part of the prison.
On ne sera point étonné que nous, les prisonnières, nous fussions toutes assez désireuses de voir ces braves gentilshommes huppés, dont on disait que leurs pareils ne s'étaient point rencontrés encore, d'autant qu'on prétendait que le matin ils seraient transférés dans le préau, ayant donné de l'argent au grand maître de la prison afin qu'on leur accordât la liberté de ce meilleur séjour.
