That
's
too
bad
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
do
n't
suppose
good
conduct
helps
a
person
to
get
more
.
"
He
waited
to
hear
a
reply
,
but
instead
Bonhag
continued
with
:
"
I
'd
better
teach
you
your
new
trade
now
.
You
've
got
to
learn
to
cane
chairs
,
so
the
warden
says
.
If
you
want
,
we
can
begin
right
away
.
"
But
without
waiting
for
Cowperwood
to
acquiesce
,
he
went
off
,
returning
after
a
time
with
three
unvarnished
frames
of
chairs
and
a
bundle
of
cane
strips
or
withes
,
which
he
deposited
on
the
floor
.
Having
so
done
--
and
with
a
flourish
--
he
now
continued
:
"
Now
I
'll
show
you
if
you
'll
watch
me
,
"
and
he
began
showing
Cowperwood
how
the
strips
were
to
be
laced
through
the
apertures
on
either
side
,
cut
,
and
fastened
with
little
hickory
pegs
.
This
done
,
he
brought
a
forcing
awl
,
a
small
hammer
,
a
box
of
pegs
,
and
a
pair
of
clippers
.
After
several
brief
demonstrations
with
different
strips
,
as
to
how
the
geometric
forms
were
designed
,
he
allowed
Cowperwood
to
take
the
matter
in
hand
,
watching
over
his
shoulder
.
The
financier
,
quick
at
anything
,
manual
or
mental
,
went
at
it
in
his
customary
energetic
fashion
,
and
in
five
minutes
demonstrated
to
Bonhag
that
,
barring
skill
and
speed
,
which
could
only
come
with
practice
,
he
could
do
it
as
well
as
another
.
"
You
'll
make
out
all
right
,
"
said
Bonhag
.
"
You
're
supposed
to
do
ten
of
those
a
day
.
We
wo
n't
count
the
next
few
days
,
though
,
until
you
get
your
hand
in
.
After
that
I
'll
come
around
and
see
how
you
're
getting
along
.
You
understand
about
the
towel
on
the
door
,
do
n't
you
?
"
he
inquired
.
"
Yes
,
Mr.
Chapin
explained
that
to
me
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
.
"
I
think
I
know
what
most
of
the
rules
are
now
.
I
'll
try
not
to
break
any
of
them
.
"
The
days
which
followed
brought
a
number
of
modifications
of
his
prison
lot
,
but
not
sufficient
by
any
means
to
make
it
acceptable
to
him
.
Bonhag
,
during
the
first
few
days
in
which
he
trained
Cowperwood
in
the
art
of
caning
chairs
,
managed
to
make
it
perfectly
clear
that
there
were
a
number
of
things
he
would
be
willing
to
do
for
him
.
One
of
the
things
that
moved
him
to
this
,
was
that
already
he
had
been
impressed
by
the
fact
that
Stener
's
friends
were
coming
to
see
him
in
larger
numbers
than
Cowperwood
's
,
sending
him
an
occasional
basket
of
fruit
,
which
he
gave
to
the
overseers
,
and
that
his
wife
and
children
had
been
already
permitted
to
visit
him
outside
the
regular
visiting-day
.
This
was
a
cause
for
jealousy
on
Bonhag
's
part
.
His
fellow-overseer
was
lording
it
over
him
--
telling
him
,
as
it
were
,
of
the
high
jinks
in
Block
4
.
Bonhag
really
wanted
Cowperwood
to
spruce
up
and
show
what
he
could
do
,
socially
or
otherwise
.
And
so
now
he
began
with
:
"
I
see
you
have
your
lawyer
and
your
partner
here
every
day
.
There
ai
n't
anybody
else
you
'd
like
to
have
visit
you
,
is
there
?
Of
course
,
it
's
against
the
rules
to
have
your
wife
or
sister
or
anybody
like
that
,
except
on
visiting
days
--
"
And
here
he
paused
and
rolled
a
large
and
informing
eye
on
Cowperwood
--
such
an
eye
as
was
supposed
to
convey
dark
and
mysterious
things
.
"
But
all
the
rules
ai
n't
kept
around
here
by
a
long
shot
.
"
Cowperwood
was
not
the
man
to
lose
a
chance
of
this
kind
.
He
smiled
a
little
--
enough
to
relieve
himself
,
and
to
convey
to
Bonhag
that
he
was
gratified
by
the
information
,
but
vocally
he
observed
:
"
I
'll
tell
you
how
it
is
,
Mr.
Bonhag
.
I
believe
you
understand
my
position
better
than
most
men
would
,
and
that
I
can
talk
to
you
.
There
are
people
who
would
like
to
come
here
,
but
I
have
been
afraid
to
let
them
come
.
I
did
not
know
that
it
could
be
arranged
.
If
it
could
be
,
I
would
be
very
grateful
.
You
and
I
are
practical
men
--
I
know
that
if
any
favors
are
extended
some
of
those
who
help
to
bring
them
about
must
be
looked
after
.
If
you
can
do
anything
to
make
it
a
little
more
comfortable
for
me
here
I
will
show
you
that
I
appreciate
it
.
I
have
n't
any
money
on
my
person
,
but
I
can
always
get
it
,
and
I
will
see
that
you
are
properly
looked
after
.
"
Bonhag
's
short
,
thick
ears
tingled
.
This
was
the
kind
of
talk
he
liked
to
hear
.
"
I
can
fix
anything
like
that
,
Mr.
Cowperwood
,
"
he
replied
,
servilely
.
"
You
leave
it
to
me
.
If
there
's
any
one
you
want
to
see
at
any
time
,
just
let
me
know
.
Of
course
I
have
to
be
very
careful
,
and
so
do
you
,
but
that
's
all
right
,
too
.
If
you
want
to
stay
out
in
that
yard
a
little
longer
in
the
mornings
or
get
out
there
afternoons
or
evenings
,
from
now
on
,
why
,
go
ahead
.
It
's
all
right
.
I
'll
just
leave
the
door
open
.
If
the
warden
or
anybody
else
should
be
around
,
I
'll
just
scratch
on
your
door
with
my
key
,
and
you
come
in
and
shut
it
.
If
there
's
anything
you
want
from
the
outside
I
can
get
it
for
you
--
jelly
or
eggs
or
butter
or
any
little
thing
like
that
.
You
might
like
to
fix
up
your
meals
a
little
that
way
.
"
"
I
'm
certainly
most
grateful
,
Mr.
Bonhag
,
"
returned
Cowperwood
in
his
grandest
manner
,
and
with
a
desire
to
smile
,
but
he
kept
a
straight
face
.
