But because of my shaking hands, I could 38 get it to my lips. After several attempts, I finally succeeded, but almost immediately 39 that I had no matches. They had taken those away from me.
I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. 40 one did not care to see a dying man. I 41 out to him, "Have you got a light?" He looked at me, shrugged and came 42 to light my cigarette.
43 he came close and lit the match, his eyes unintentionally 44 mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why I did that.

I kept smiling at him, now 49 of him as a person and not just a jailer.
