1 Then, Mr. Pip, one of those two prisoners sat behind you tonight.
2 'This is a terrible hardened one,' they says to prison wisitors, picking out me.
3 It struck me that Wemmick walked among the prisoners much as a gardener might walk among his plants.
4 Being far too ill to remain in the common prison, he was removed, after the first day or so, into the infirmary.
5 He lay in prison very ill, during the whole interval between his committal for trial and the coming round of the Sessions.
6 Cribbed and barred and moored by massive rusty chains, the prison-ship seemed in my young eyes to be ironed like the prisoners.

8 Both these heads of information were in a list that Magwitch, while in prison, gave to Mr. Jaggers, of the possessions he supposed I should inherit.
9 Our lights warmed the air about us with their pitchy blaze, and the two prisoners seemed rather to like that, as they limped along in the midst of the muskets.
