- SubstitutionBut this was one of those persuasive days that come in the early summer, and sorely try the poor convict who is caged in a lonely cell, a shaft of sunshine, which he studies rather than his work, falls temptingly across the stone floor. And a wanton breath of wind, losing its way, comes in off the bared little windows, and, giving the convicts coat a taunting rustle, sweeps out again. A bee strays in, buzzing as noisily as if it were he that made the world go round, and after a minute, finding it is no place for him, buzzes out.
