"Once a month," she replied, "I leave this window, walk to the
prison, where the warden is very kind to me, and then I can see
Sanford. Of course there are bars between us besides the regular

described to me exactly every detail of his life in the--the
prison. We have even agreed on certain hours when we think of each
other. In those hours I know almost what he is thinking." She
paused to collect herself. "Perhaps there may be some way if I
plead with the warden. Perhaps--you may be considered his counsel
now--you may see him."
A half hour later we sat in the big registry room of the prison
and talked with the big-hearted, big-handed warden. Every argument
that Kennedy could summon was brought to bear.
