To Millbank. It is only a week since my last visit, but the mood of the prison has shifted, as if with the season, and it is a darker and more bitter place now, than ever. The towers seemed to have grown higher and broader, and the windows
to have shrunk; the very scents of the place seemed to have changed, since I was last there -the grounds smelling of fog and of chimney smoke as well as of sedge, and the wards reeking of nuisance-buckets still, of cramped and unwashed
hair and flesh and mouths, but also of gas, and rust,and sickness.
