They found it often inconvenient not to laugh at Mr. Troke's humour.

"You can't get 'em to warm one another, your honour," says Troke.

John Rex, with the carbine, and Troke's pistols, walked last.

Instead of placing him in a cell by himself, Troke was turning him into the yard with the others.

During his tying up he had said nothing—only when Troke pulled off his shirt he shivered.
