The slits for viewing are narrow, but he thinks he just might have seen the dog. He sees a lot of skinny people in the city, watching the carriage.



The Manacles do not budge.



Peter is led into a what looks like an old fortress, or maybe a castle. Its made of stone, and has slits rather than windows. His manacles don't come off until he is placed in a stone room with four men, all 40 or older. The room is dark, lit only by a kerosene lamp, but has six fairly nice beds, and a table with chairs, paper, pens, and charcoal. There is an embroidered rug on the floor. The door is heavy, wooden, banded with iron, and has a roughly foot by foot window with iron bars four inches apart and a padlock on the outside. there is one other half door, more for privacy than for security.



His cell mates are surprised to see a boy. They speak English.



"Welcome to the upper dungeon, son. I'm Dr. Goslin. This is Mr. Cardin, Mr. Patterson, and Dr. Caldwell. What's your name? And who are you? they don't stick just anyone in the upper dungeon."
