The room was lit, my light coming through. Cracks in the scaffold floor above and significantly from around the edges of the large trapdoor. The hinges of said door were being carefully oiled by a man in a hood. He stopped when he saw the party arrived and said, Good morning, Mr Spangler. He raised the hood helpfully. It's me, sir Daniel. One drop trooper. I'm your executioner for today, sir. Don't you worry, sir. I've hang dozens of people. We'll soon have you out of here. Is it true that if a man isn't hanged after three attempts, he is reprieved? Dan said moist as the executioner carefully wiped his hands on a rag. So I've heard, sir. So I've heard. But they don't call me one drop for nothing, sir. And well, sir, be having the black bag today. Will it help? Some people think it makes them look more dashing, sir. And it stops that Popeye. Look, it's so Maura crowd thing. Really Quite a big one out there this morning. Nice piece about you in the Times yesterday, I thought all of them people saying what a nice young man you were and everything. Would you mind signing the rope beforehand, sir. I mean, I won't have a chance to ask you afterwards. A signing the rope said Moist. Yes, sir, said the hangman. It's sort of traditional, as a lot of people out there will buy old rope specialist collectors, you could say a bit strange, but it takes all sorts. A worth more signed, Of course. He flourished a length of stout rope. I've got a special pen that signs on rope. One signature, every couple of inches. Straightforward signature. No dedication needed worth money to me, sir. I'd be very grateful. So grateful you won't hang me then said Moist. Taking the pen. This got an appreciative laugh. Mr. Trooper watched him sign along the length, nodding happily. Well done, sir. That's my pension plan. Your signing There now. Are we ready? Everyone not May said moist. Quickly toe another round of general amusement. You're a card, Mr Spangler said, Mr Wilkinson. It won't be the same without you around. And that's the truth. Not for me, at any rate, said moist. This Waas once again treated like a rapier wit moist side. Do you really think this deters crime, Mr Trooper? He said. Well, in the generality of things, I'd say it's hard to tell, given that it's hard to find evidence of crimes not committed, said the hanged man, giving the trap door of final raffle. But in this specific ality, sir, I'd say it's very efficacious. Meaning what said moist meaning. I have never seen someone up here more and once, sir, shall be go.
