That
is
,
if
Desmas
had
the
least
interest
in
a
prisoner
he
need
scarcely
say
so
much
to
Bonhag
;
he
might
merely
suggest
that
this
man
was
used
to
a
different
kind
of
life
,
or
that
,
because
of
some
past
experience
,
it
might
go
hard
with
him
if
be
were
handled
roughly
;
and
Bonhag
would
strain
himself
to
be
pleasant
.
The
trouble
was
that
to
a
shrewd
man
of
any
refinement
his
attentions
were
objectionable
,
being
obviously
offered
for
a
purpose
,
and
to
a
poor
or
ignorant
man
they
were
brutal
and
contemptuous
.
He
had
built
up
an
extra
income
for
himself
inside
the
prison
by
selling
the
prisoners
extra
allowances
of
things
which
he
secretly
brought
into
the
prison
.
It
was
strictly
against
the
rules
,
in
theory
at
least
,
to
bring
in
anything
which
was
not
sold
in
the
store-room
--
tobacco
,
writing
paper
,
pens
,
ink
,
whisky
,
cigars
,
or
delicacies
of
any
kind
.
On
the
other
hand
,
and
excellently
well
for
him
,
it
was
true
that
tobacco
of
an
inferior
grade
was
provided
,
as
well
as
wretched
pens
,
ink
and
paper
,
so
that
no
self-respecting
man
,
if
he
could
help
it
,
would
endure
them
.
Whisky
was
not
allowed
at
all
,
and
delicacies
were
abhorred
as
indicating
rank
favoritism
;
nevertheless
,
they
were
brought
in
.
If
a
prisoner
had
the
money
and
was
willing
to
see
that
Bonhag
secured
something
for
his
trouble
,
almost
anything
would
be
forthcoming
.
Also
the
privilege
of
being
sent
into
the
general
yard
as
a
"
trusty
,
"
or
being
allowed
to
stay
in
the
little
private
yard
which
some
cells
possessed
,
longer
than
the
half-hour
ordinarily
permitted
,
was
sold
.
One
of
the
things
curiously
enough
at
this
time
,
which
worked
in
Cowperwood
's
favor
,
was
the
fact
that
Bonhag
was
friendly
with
the
overseer
who
had
Stener
in
charge
,
and
Stener
,
because
of
his
political
friends
,
was
being
liberally
treated
,
and
Bonhag
knew
of
this
.
He
was
not
a
careful
reader
of
newspapers
,
nor
had
he
any
intellectual
grasp
of
important
events
;
but
he
knew
by
now
that
both
Stener
and
Cowperwood
were
,
or
had
been
,
individuals
of
great
importance
in
the
community
;
also
that
Cowperwood
had
been
the
more
important
of
the
two
.
Better
yet
,
as
Bonhag
now
heard
,
Cowperwood
still
had
money
.
Some
prisoner
,
who
was
permitted
to
read
the
paper
,
told
him
so
.
And
so
,
entirely
aside
from
Warden
Desmas
's
recommendation
,
which
was
given
in
a
very
quiet
,
noncommittal
way
,
Bonhag
was
interested
to
see
what
he
could
do
for
Cowperwood
for
a
price
.
The
day
Cowperwood
was
installed
in
his
new
cell
,
Bonhag
lolled
up
to
the
door
,
which
was
open
,
and
said
,
in
a
semipatronizing
way
,
"
Got
all
your
things
over
yet
?
"
It
was
his
business
to
lock
the
door
once
Cowperwood
was
inside
it
.
"
Yes
,
sir
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
,
who
had
been
shrewd
enough
to
get
the
new
overseer
's
name
from
Chapin
;
"
this
is
Mr.
Bonhag
,
I
presume
?
"
"
That
's
me
,
"
replied
Bonhag
,
not
a
little
flattered
by
the
recognition
,
but
still
purely
interested
by
the
practical
side
of
this
encounter
.
He
was
anxious
to
study
Cowperwood
,
to
see
what
type
of
man
he
was
.
"
You
'll
find
it
a
little
different
down
here
from
up
there
,
"
observed
Bonhag
.
"
It
ai
n't
so
stuffy
.
These
doors
out
in
the
yards
make
a
difference
.
"
"
Oh
,
yes
,
"
said
Cowperwood
,
observantly
and
shrewdly
,
"
that
is
the
yard
Mr.
Desmas
spoke
of
.
"
At
the
mention
of
the
magic
name
,
if
Bonhag
had
been
a
horse
,
his
ears
would
have
been
seen
to
lift
.
For
,
of
course
,
if
Cowperwood
was
so
friendly
with
Desmas
that
the
latter
had
described
to
him
the
type
of
cell
he
was
to
have
beforehand
,
it
behooved
Bonhag
to
be
especially
careful
.
"
Yes
,
that
's
it
,
but
it
ai
n't
much
,
"
he
observed
.
"
They
only
allow
a
half-hour
a
day
in
it
.
Still
it
would
be
all
right
if
a
person
could
stay
out
there
longer
.
"
This
was
his
first
hint
at
graft
,
favoritism
;
and
Cowperwood
distinctly
caught
the
sound
of
it
in
his
voice
.
