You
got
a
nickel
or
maybe
as
much
as
a
dime
to
pay
for
a
cigar
box
,
you
lugoon
?
"
he
asked
.
"
I
got
four
pennies
,
"
Delacroix
said
.
"
I
give
them
for
a
box
,
if
it
a
good
one
,
s
'
il
est
bon
.
"
"
I
'll
tell
you
what
,
"
Percy
said
.
"
If
that
toothless
old
whoremaster
will
sell
you
that
Corona
box
for
four
cents
,
I
'll
sneak
some
cotton
batting
out
of
the
dispensary
to
line
it
with
.
We
'll
make
us
a
regular
Mousie
Hilton
,
before
we
're
through
.
"
He
shifted
his
eyes
to
me
.
"
I
'm
supposed
to
write
a
switch-room
report
about
Bitterbuck
,
"
he
said
.
"
Is
there
some
pens
in
your
office
,
Paul
?
"
"
Yes
,
indeed
,
"
I
said
.
"
Forms
,
too
.
Lefthand
top
drawer
.
"
"
Well
,
that
's
aces
,
"
he
said
,
and
went
swaggering
off
.
Harry
and
I
looked
at
each
other
.
"
Is
he
sick
,
do
you
think
?
"
Harry
asked
.
"
Maybe
went
to
his
doctor
and
found
out
he
's
only
got
three
months
to
live
?
"
I
told
him
I
did
n't
have
the
slightest
idea
what
was
up
.
It
was
the
truth
then
,
and
for
awhile
after
,
but
I
found
out
in
time
.
And
a
few
years
later
,
I
had
an
interesting
supper-table
conversation
with
Hal
Moores
.
By
then
we
could
talk
freely
,
what
with
him
being
retired
and
me
being
at
the
Boys
"
Correctional
.
It
was
one
of
those
meals
where
you
drink
too
much
and
eat
too
little
,
and
tongues
get
loosened
.
Hal
told
me
that
Percy
had
been
in
to
complain
about
me
and
about
life
on
the
Mile
in
general
.
This
was
just
after
Delacroix
came
on
the
block
,
and
Brutal
and
I
had
kept
Percy
from
beating
him
half
to
death
.
What
had
griped
Percy
the
most
was
me
telling
him
to
get
out
of
my
sight
.
He
did
n't
think
a
man
who
was
related
to
the
governor
should
have
to
put
up
with
talk
like
that
Well
,
Moores
told
me
,
he
had
stood
Percy
off
for
as
long
as
he
could
,
and
when
it
became
dear
to
him
that
Percy
was
going
to
try
pulling
some
strings
to
get
me
reprimanded
and
moved
to
another
part
of
the
prison
at
the
very
least
,
he
,
Moores
,
had
pulled
Percy
into
his
office
and
told
him
that
if
he
quit
rocking
the
boat
,
Moores
would
make
sure
that
Percy
was
out
front
for
Delacroix
's
execution
.
That
he
would
,
in
fact
,
be
placed
right
beside
the
chair
.
I
would
be
in
charge
,
as
always
,
but
the
witnesses
would
n't
know
that
;
to
them
it
would
look
as
if
Mr.
Percy
Wetmore
was
boss
of
the
cotillion
.
Moores
was
n't
promising
any
more
than
what
we
'd
already
discussed
and
I
'd
gone
along
with
,
but
Percy
did
n't
know
that
.
He
agreed
to
leave
off
his
threats
to
have
me
reassigned
,
and
the
atmosphere
on
E
Block
sweetened
.
He
had
even
agreed
that
Delacroix
could
keep
Percy
's
old
nemesis
as
a
pet
.
It
's
amazing
how
some
men
can
change
,
given
the
right
incentive
;
in
Percy
's
case
,
all
Warden
Moores
had
to
offer
was
the
chance
to
take
a
bald
little
Frenchman
's
life
.
Toot-Toot
felt
that
four
cents
was
far
too
little
for
a
prime
Corona
cigar
box
,
and
in
that
he
was
probably
right
--
cigar
boxes
were
highly
prized
objects
in
prison
.
A
thousand
different
small
items
could
be
stored
in
them
,
the
smell
was
pleasant
,
and
there
was
something
about
them
that
reminded
our
customers
of
what
it
was
like
to
be
free
men
.
Because
cigarettes
were
permitted
in
prison
but
cigars
were
not
,
I
imagine
.
