Soapy was thinking of the Island. There were places in the city where he could go and ask for food and a bed. These would be given to him. He could move from one building to another, and he would be taken care of through the winter. But he liked Blackwell’s Island better. Soapy’ s spirit was proud. If he went to any of these places, there were certain things he had to do in one way or another he would have to pay for what they gave him. They would not ask him for money. But they would make him wash his whole body. They would make him answer questions. They would want to know everything about his life. No prison was better than that. The prison rules that he would have to follow. But in prison, a gentleman’s own life was still his own life. Soapy having decided to go to the island at once began to move towards this desire. There were many easy ways of doing this. The most pleasant way was to go and have a dinner at some fine restaurant. Then he would say that he had no money to pay. And then a cop would be called. It would all be done very quietly. The cop would arrest him. He would be taken to a judge. The judge would do the rest.
