-
The Hangman : Even my lamented master, the great Mr. Berry himself, never had the privilege of hanging a duke. What a finale to a lifetime in the public service!
Prison Governor : Finale?
The Hangman : Yes, I intend to retire. After using the silken rope, never again be content with hemp.
-
Prison Governor : If I may venture to say so, I am amazed at your calmness.
Louis Mazzini : Dr. Johnson was, as always, right when he observed, "Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he's going to be hanged in a few hours, it concentrates his mind wonderfully."
