THE GOVERNOR。 ��Beckoning�А�Come out here a minute�察�Clipton。
CLIPTON�察�with a sort of dreadful quietness�察�comes into the corridor�察�the needle and thread in his hand。 The GOVERNOR signs to WOODER�察�who goes into the cell and inspects it carefully。
THE GOVERNOR。 How are your eyes��
CLIFTON。 I don't complain of them。 I don't see the sun here。 ��He makes a stealthy movement�察�protruding his neck a little�А �There's just one thing�察�Mr。 Governor�察�as you're speaking to me。 I wish you'd ask the cove next door here to keep a bit quieter。
THE GOVERNOR。 What's the matter�拭 �I don't want any tales�察�Clipton。
CLIPTON。 He keeps me awake。 I don't know who he is。 ��With contempt�А �One of this star class�察�I expect。 Oughtn't to be here with us。
THE GOVERNOR。 ��Quietly�А �Quite right�察�Clipton。 He'll be moved when there's a cell vacant。
CLIPTON。 He knocks about like a wild beast in the early morning。 I'm not used to itstops me getting my sleep out。 In the evening too。 It's not fair�察�Mr。 Governor�察�as you're speaking to me。 Sleep's the comfort I've got here�察�I'm entitled to take it out full。
WOODER comes out of the cell�察�and instantly�察�as though extinguished�察�CLIPTON moves with stealthy suddenness back into his cell。
WOODER。 All right�察�sir。
THE GOVERNOR nods。 The door is closed and locked。
THE GOVERNOR。 Which is the man who banged on his door this morning��
WOODER。 ��Going towards O'CLEARY'S cell�А �This one�察�sir�察�O'Cleary。
He lifts the disc and glances through the peephole。
THE GOVERNOR。 Open。
WOODER throws open the door。 O'CLEARY�察�who is seated at a little table by the door as if listening�察�springs up and stands at attention jest inside the doorway。 He is a broad´faced�察 �middle´aged man�察�with a wide�察�thin�察�flexible mouth�察�and little holes under his high cheek´bones。
THE GOVERNOR。 Where's the joke�察�O'Cleary��
O'CLEARY。 The joke�察�your honour�拭 �I've not seen one for a long time。
THE GOVERNOR。 Banging on your door��
O'CLEARY。 Oh� �that��
THE GOVERNOR。 It's womanish。
O'CLEARY。 An' it's that I'm becoming this two months past。
THE GOVERNOR。 Anything to complain of��
O'CLEARY。 NO�察�Sirr。
THE GOVERNOR。 You're an old hand�察�you ought to know better。
O'CLEARY。 Yes�察�I've been through it all。
THE GOVERNOR。 You've got a youngster next door�察�you'll upset him。
O'CLEARY。 It cam' over me�察�your honour。 I can't always be the same steady man。
THE GOVERNOR。 Work all right��
O'CLEARY。 ��Taking up a rush mat he is making�А �Oh� �I can do it on me head。 It's the miserablest stuffdon't take the brains of a mouse。 ��Working his mouth�А �It's here I feel itthe want of a little noise a terrible little wud ease me。
THE GOVERNOR。 You know as well as I do that if you were out in the shops you wouldn't be allowed to talk。
O'CLEARY。 ��With a look of profound meaning�А �Not with my mouth。
THE GOVERNOR。 Well�察�then��
O'CLEARY。 But it's the great conversation I'd have。
THE GOVERNOR。 ��With a smile�А�Well�察�no more conversation on your door。
O'CLEARY。 No�察�sirr�察�I wud not have the little wit to repeat meself。
THE GOVERNOR。 ��Turning�А �Good´night。
O'CLEARY。 Good´night�察�your honour。
He turns into his cell。 The GOVERNOR shuts the door。
THE GOVERNOR。 ��Looking at the record card�А �Can't help liking the poor blackguard。
WOODER。 He's an amiable man�察�sir。
THE GOVERNOR。 ��Pointing down the corridor�А�Ask the doctor to come here�察�Mr。 Wooder。
WOODER salutes and goes away down the corridor。
The GOVERNOR goes to the door of FALDER'S cell。 He raises his uninjured hand to uncover the peep´hole�察�but�察�without uncovering it�察�shakes his head and drops his hand�察�then�察�after scrutinising the record board�察�he opens the cell door。 FALDER�察�who is standing against it�察�lurches forward。
THE GOVERNOR。 ��Beckoning him out�А �Now tell me�此�can't you settle down�察�Falder��
FALDER。 ��In a breathless voice�А �Yes�察�sir。
THE GOVERNOR。 You know what I mean�拭 �It's no good running your head against a stone wall�察�is it��
FALDER。 No�察�sir。
THE GOVERNOR。 Well�察�come。
FALDER。 I try�察�sir。
THE GOVERNOR。 Can't you sleep��
FALDER。 Very little。 Between two o'clock and getting up's the worst time。
THE GOVERNOR。 How's that��
FALDER。 ��His lips twitch with a sort of smile�А�I don't know�察�sir。 I was always nervous。 ��Suddenly voluble�А �Everything seems to get such a size then。 I feel I'll never get out as long as I live。
THE GOVERNOR。 That's morbid�察�my lad。 Pull yourself together。
FALDER。 ��With an equally sudden dogged resentment�А�YesI've got to。
THE GOVERNOR。 Think of all these other fellows��
FALDER。 They're used to it。
THE GOVERNOR。 They all had to go through it once for the first time�察�just as you're doing now。
FALDER。 Yes�察�sir�察�I shall get to be like them in time�察�I suppose。
THE GOVERNOR。 ��Rather taken aback�А �H'm� �Well� �That rests with you。 Now come。 Set your mind to it�察�like a good fellow。 You're still quite young。 A man can make himself what he likes。
FALDER。 ��Wistfully�А�Yes�察�sir。
THE GOVERNOR。 Take a good hold of yourself。 Do you read��
FALDER。 I don't take the words in。 ��Hanging his head�А�I know it's no good�察�but I can't help thinking of what's going on outside。 In my cell I can't see out at all。 It's thick glass�察�sir。
THE GOVERNOR。 You've had a visitor。 Bad news��
FALDER。 Yes。
THE GOVERNOR。 You mustn't think about it。
FALDER。 ��Looking back at his cell�А �How can I help it�察�sir��
He suddenly becomes motionless as WOODER and the DOCTOR approach。 The GOVERNOR motions to him to go back into his cell。
FALDER。 ��Quick and low�А �I'm quite right in my head�察�sir。 ��He goes back into his cell。
THE GOVERNOR。 ��To the DOCTOR�А �Just go in and see him�察�Clements。
The DOCTOR goes into the cell。 The GOVERNOR pushes the door to�察 �nearly closing it�察�and walks towards the window。
WOODER。 ��Following�А �Sorry you should be troubled like this�察�sir。 Very contented lot of men�察�on the whole。
THE GOVERNOR。 ��Shortly�А �You think so��
WOODER。 Yes�察�sir。 It's Christmas doing it�察�in my opinion。
THE GOVERNOR。 ��To himself�А �Queer�察�that��
WOODER。 Beg pardon�察�sir��
THE GOVERNOR。 Christmas��
He turns towards the window�察�leaving WOODER looking at him with a sort of pained anxiety。
WOODER。 ��Suddenly�А �Do you think we make show enough�察�sir�拭 �If you'd like us to have more holly��
THE GOVERNOR。 Not at all�察�Mr。 Wooder。
WOODER。 Very good�察�sir。
The DOCTOR has come out of FALDER's Cell�察�and the GOVERNOR beckons to him。
THE GOVERNOR。 Well��
THE DOCTOR。 I can't make anything much of him。 He's nervous�察�of course。
THE GOVERNOR。 Is there any sort of case to report�拭 �Quite frankly�察�Doctor。
THE DOCTOR。 Well�察�I don't think the separates doing him any good�察�but then I could say the same of a lot of themthey'd get on better in the shops�察�there's no doubt。
THE GOVERNOR。 You mean you'd have to recommend others��
THE DOCTOR。 A dozen at least。 It's on his nerves。 There's nothing tangible。 That fellow there ��pointing to O'CLEARY'S cell�В察�for instancefeels it just as much�察�in his way。 If I once get away from physical factsI shan't know where I am。 Conscientiously�察�sir�察�I don't know how to differentiate him。 He hasn't lost weight。 Nothing wrong with his eyes。 His pulse is good。 Talks all right。
THE GOVERNOR。 It doesn't amount to melancholia��
THE DOCTOR。 ��Shaking his head�А �I can report on him if you like�察�but if I do I ought to report on others。
THE GOVERNOR。 I see。 ��Looking towards FALDER'S cell�А �The poor devil must just stick it then。
As he says thin he looks absently at WOODER。
WOODER。 Beg pardon�察�sir��
For answer the GOVERNOR stares at him�察�turns on his heel�察�and walks away。 There is a sound as of beating on metal。
THE GOVERNOR。 ��Stopping�А �Mr。 Wooder��
WOODER。 Banging on his door�察�sir。 I thought we should have more of that。
He hurries forward�察�passing the GOVERNOR�察�who follows closely。
The curtain falls。
SCENE III
FALDER's cell�察�a whitewashed space thirteen feet broad by seven deep�察�and nine feet high�察�with a rounded ceiling。 The floor is of shiny blackened bricks。 The barred window of opaque glass�察 �with a ventilator�察�is high up in the middle of the end wall。 In the middle of the opposite end wall is the narrow door。 In a corner are the mattress and bedding rolled up ��two blankets�察�two sheets�察�and a coverlet�А� Above them is a quarter´circular wooden shelf�察�on which is a Bible and several little devotional books�察�piled in a symmetrical pyramid�察�there are also a black hair brush�察�tooth´brush�察�and a bit of soap。 In another corner is the wooden frame of a bed�察�standing on end。 There is a dark ventilator under the window�察�and another over the door。 FALDER'S work ��a shirt to which he is putting buttonholes�А�is hung to a nail on the wall over a small wooden table�察�on which the novel ;Lorna Doone; lies open。 Low down in the corner by the door is a thick glass screen�察�about a foot square�察�covering the gas´jet let into the wall。 There is also a wooden stool�察�and a pair of shoes beneath it。 Three bright round tins are set under the window。
In fast´failing daylight�察�FALDER�察�in his stockings�察�is seen standing motionless�察�with his head inclined towards the door�察 �listening。 He moves a little closer to the door�察�his stockinged feet making no noise。 He stops at the door。 He is trying harder and harder to hear something�察�any little thing that is going on outside。 He springs suddenly uprightas if at a sound´and remains perfectly motionless。 Then�察�with a heavy sigh�察�he moves to his work�察�and stands looking at it�察�with his head doom�察�he does a stitch or two�察�having the air of a man so lost in sadness that each stitch is�察�as it were�察�a coming to life。 Then turning abruptly�察�he begins pacing the cell�察�moving his head�察�like an animal pacing its cage。 He stops again at the door�察�listens�察�and�察�placing
