“I have been asked what

i mean be ’word of honor.’

i tell you: place me behind

prison walls- walls of stone

ever so high, ever so thick,

reaching ever so far into the

ground-there is a possibility

that in some way or another

i might be able to escape;but

stand me on the floor and

draw a chalk line around me

and have me give my Word

of honor never to cross it.

Can i get out of that circle?

No, never! I’d die first.”
