Your honour, replied the corporal, knows of _Tom's_ misfortunes; but this affair has nothing to do with them any further than this, That if _Tom_ had not married the widow----or had it pleased God after their marriage, that they had but put pork into their sausages, the honest soul had never been taken out of his warm bed, and dragg'd to the inquisition----'Tis a cursed place--added the corporal, shaking his head, --when once a poor creature is in, he is in, an' please your honour, for ever.

'Your honour,' replied the corporal, 'knows of Tom's misfortunes; if he had not married the widow - or if they had only put pork into their sausages - the honest soul would never have been taken out of his warm bed, and dragged to the inquisition. 'Tis a cursed place; when once a poor creature is in, he is in for ever.'
