When the warden stands firm, Butch shoots the warden's right hand man in cold blood, then tosses the dying man out for all to see.

THE warden of the State penitentiary was standing at his office window, looking into the yard.

A month ago wardens had stood watch at the getta gate, separating Port Sanger proper from the harbor.

Their horses were bunched off to one side and the five wardens stood in line, facing toward the butte.

From where the warden stood near the front doors, the tall, electrified chain-link fences were visible through the glass, and above them coiled rows of concertina sparkled with the earliest indication of a summer dawn.

As the warden stood silent, Guyon extended his hand to bid the official good night.

The warden stood behind his desk and stretched.

The carpets and wardens stood still, the noises in the wall stopped, even the organ music was silenced.

The warden stood just behind Mr. Miller's head.

From the sound of him, Letau's warden must be standing less than ten paces away from her.
