''An open Hall or Lobby in a Prison, from which a wide arched passage branches off. Over the arch is written, "The Felons' Side."''

Did you look for any one, young gentleman?

I am wrong, I see. Can you show me the way to the debtors' side? There is a prisoner I would inquire after.

That, Sir, will lead you to it: but you had better stop here a few minutes; for yonder are persons coming this way, conducting a prisoner from examination,—a poor unfortunate gentleman.

A gentleman! what is his name?

His name is Arden.

Examination! is it a meeting with creditors he means?
