Then a dreadful scene ensued. He began to writhe like a worm, beat his face with his fist, and his flesh with his nails.

If he still lived far from the world in exile, as he never ceased to say, it was because he despised his fellow-men both rich and poor, and compared himself to a worm.
S’il vivait encore loin du monde, en exilé, comme il continuait à le dire, c’est qu’il méprisait les petits et les grands, et qu’il se comparait lui-même à un ver de terre.

None of the honest men suspected them, but they were there as spies to hatch plots for escape and get the poor devils caught in the act, and to worm out confidences which might be of value.
