Success

Quiet as the grave

Failure

Too soon

[...] You can feel the cool brush of metal [...] – when the gaoler suddenly starts.

With a snort and a smacking of lips, [...] he shuffles in his seat [...] You will have to wait for him to drift off again, and ignore the snickering of the Unlucky Devil behind you.
