Traddles
shrugged
his
shoulders
,
and
was
not
at
all
surprised
.
I
had
not
expected
him
to
be
,
and
was
not
surprised
myself
;
or
my
observation
of
similar
practical
satires
would
have
been
but
scanty
.
We
arranged
the
time
of
our
visit
,
and
I
wrote
accordingly
to
Mr
.
Creakle
that
evening
.
On
the
appointed
day
I
think
it
was
the
next
day
,
but
no
matter
-
Traddles
and
I
repaired
to
the
prison
where
Mr
.
Creakle
was
powerful
.
It
was
an
immense
and
solid
building
,
erected
at
a
vast
expense
.
I
could
not
help
thinking
,
as
we
approached
the
gate
,
what
an
uproar
would
have
been
made
in
the
country
,
if
any
deluded
man
had
proposed
to
spend
one
half
the
money
it
had
cost
,
on
the
erection
of
an
industrial
school
for
the
young
,
or
a
house
of
refuge
for
the
deserving
old
.

In
an
office
that
might
have
been
on
the
ground
-
floor
of
the
Tower
of
Babel
,
it
was
so
massively
constructed
,
we
were
presented
to
our
old
schoolmaster
;
who
was
one
of
a
group
,
composed
of
two
or
three
of
the
busier
sort
of
magistrates
,
and
some
visitors
they
had
brought
.
He
received
me
,
like
a
man
who
had
formed
my
mind
in
bygone
years
,
and
had
always
loved
me
tenderly
.
On
my
introducing
Traddles
,
Mr
.
Creakle
expressed
,
in
like
manner
,
but
in
an
inferior
degree
,
that
he
had
always
been
Traddles
s
guide
,
philosopher
,
and
friend
.
Our
venerable
instructor
was
a
great
deal
older
,
and
not
improved
in
appearance
.
His
face
was
as
fiery
as
ever
;
his
eyes
were
as
small
,
and
rather
deeper
set
.
The
scanty
,
wet
-
looking
grey
hair
,
by
which
I
remembered
him
,
was
almost
gone
;
and
the
thick
veins
in
his
bald
head
were
none
the
more
agreeable
to
look
at
.
After
some
conversation
among
these
gentlemen
,
from
which
I
might
have
supposed
that
there
was
nothing
in
the
world
to
be
legitimately
taken
into
account
but
the
supreme
comfort
of
prisoners
,
at
any
expense
,
and
nothing
on
the
wide
earth
to
be
done
outside
prison
-
doors
,
we
began
our
inspection
.
It
being
then
just
dinner
-
time
,
we
went
,
first
into
the
great
kitchen
,
where
every
prisoner
s
dinner
was
in
course
of
being
set
out
separately
(
to
be
handed
to
him
in
his
cell
)
,
with
the
regularity
and
precision
of
clock
-
work
.
I
said
aside
,
to
Traddles
,
that
I
wondered
whether
it
occurred
to
anybody
,
that
there
was
a
striking
contrast
between
these
plentiful
repasts
of
choice
quality
,
and
the
dinners
,
not
to
say
of
paupers
,
but
of
soldiers
,
sailors
,
labourers
,
the
great
bulk
of
the
honest
,
working
community
;
of
whom
not
one
man
in
five
hundred
ever
dined
half
so
well
.
But
I
learned
that
the
system
required
high
living
;
and
,
in
short
,
to
dispose
of
the
system
,
once
for
all
,
I
found
that
on
that
head
and
on
all
others
,
the
system
put
an
end
to
all
doubts
,
and
disposed
of
all
anomalies
.
Nobody
appeared
to
have
the
least
idea
that
there
was
any
other
system
,
but
THE
system
,
to
be
considered
.
As
we
were
going
through
some
of
the
magnificent
passages
,
I
inquired
of
Mr
.
Creakle
and
his
friends
what
were
supposed
to
be
the
main
advantages
of
this
all
-
governing
and
universally
over
-
riding
system
?
I
found
them
to
be
the
perfect
isolation
of
prisoners
so
that
no
one
man
in
confinement
there
,
knew
anything
about
another
;
and
the
reduction
of
prisoners
to
a
wholesome
state
of
mind
,
leading
to
sincere
contrition
and
repentance
.

Now
,
it
struck
me
,
when
we
began
to
visit
individuals
in
their
cells
,
and
to
traverse
the
passages
in
which
those
cells
were
,
and
to
have
the
manner
of
the
going
to
chapel
and
so
forth
,
explained
to
us
,
that
there
was
a
strong
probability
of
the
prisoners
knowing
a
good
deal
about
each
other
,
and
of
their
carrying
on
a
pretty
complete
system
of
intercourse
.
This
,
at
the
time
I
write
,
has
been
proved
,
I
believe
,
to
be
the
case
;
but
,
as
it
would
have
been
flat
blasphemy
against
the
system
to
have
hinted
such
a
doubt
then
,
I
looked
out
for
the
penitence
as
diligently
as
I
could
.
And
here
again
,
I
had
great
misgivings
.
I
found
as
prevalent
a
fashion
in
the
form
of
the
penitence
,
as
I
had
left
outside
in
the
forms
of
the
coats
and
waistcoats
in
the
windows
of
the
tailors
shops
.
I
found
a
vast
amount
of
profession
,
varying
very
little
in
character
:
varying
very
little
(
which
I
thought
exceedingly
suspicious
)
,
even
in
words
.
I
found
a
great
many
foxes
,
disparaging
whole
vineyards
of
inaccessible
grapes
;
but
I
found
very
few
foxes
whom
I
would
have
trusted
within
reach
of
a
bunch
.
Above
all
,
I
found
that
the
most
professing
men
were
the
greatest
objects
of
interest
;
and
that
their
conceit
,
their
vanity
,
their
want
of
excitement
,
and
their
love
of
deception
(
which
many
of
them
possessed
to
an
almost
incredible
extent
,
as
their
histories
showed
)
,
all
prompted
to
these
professions
,
and
were
all
gratified
by
them
.
