Harry doesn’t say anything at allLong Distance call from Rio de Janeiro
Chapter 75
Then the bailiffs took Harry,
2And put chains on his hands and feet,
3And dragged him to the paddy wagon,
4Which carried him to prison,
5To start serving his term,
6In maximum security,
7For life.
8Along the way, the guards teased him,
9And called him the King of the Coins,
10And other things,
11Which Harry took good naturedly, saying, If it’s all the same to you, I would prefer to be the King of Coins,
12aBecause when the King of Coins reaches for his pocket,
13The whole world pays attention,
14bAnd all barriers are removed as soon as he approaches.
15And the guards laughed and laughed,
16But when they had dropped him off inside the prison,
17And he had passed through the cell-block gates,
18They shook their heads at his passing,
19And said, “Truly, that is one ccool customer,
20“Who knows the way to be.”
