2 One scraped the outside of a leg; another scraped the inside of the same leg.
3 There were men to cut it, and men to split it, and men to gut it and scrape it clean inside.
4 There was a row of brick furnaces, shining white through every crack with the molten steel inside.
5 There were ups and downs at the business; but there was always a living, inside of a jail, if not out of it.

10 As they lay screaming and rolling upon the ground in agony, Jurgis rushed to help them, and as a result he lost a good part of the skin from the inside of one of his hands.
