The noise on the staircase which Cornelius and Rosa had heard was caused by the Recorder , who was coming for the prisoner . He was followed by the executioner , by the soldiers who were to form the guard round the scaffold , and by some curious hangers-on of the prison
Шум на лестнице, который услышали Корнелиус и Роза, был вызван Регистратором, пришедшим за пленником. За ним следовали палач, солдаты, которые должны были охранять эшафот, и какие-то любопытные тюремные прихлебатели.
