Though Kelly's special privileges as a political prisoner were ordered officially canceled, well-wishers streamed in and out of his cell as they always had, with no regard for regular visiting hours. There did seem to be an unusual number of women. But in accord with prison custom, the women were passed without inspection. When the last of them had left, a guard looked in Kelly's cell.

This Donnybrook provokes the most sensible twist of the entire plot: a Roman police captain, Mature's own colleague, orders him tossed into a cell in protective custody. The cop's undebatable reasoning: criminals are a much greater menace to Mature than he is to them.
