Quote #4
Fitz-Norman himself set out for foreign parts with one hundred thousand dollars and two trunks filled with rough diamonds of all sizes. He sailed for Russia in a Chinese junk and six months after his departure from Montana he was in St. Petersburg. He took obscure lodgings and called immediately upon the court jeweler, announcing that he had a diamond for the Czar. He remained in St. Petersburg for two weeks, in constant danger of being murdered, living from lodging to lodging, and afraid to visit his trunks more than three or four times during the whole fortnight. (4.8)
Fitz-Norman was, in many ways, a prisoner to his own wealth. It certainly doesn't sound like he's living a chipper life of freedom, at any rate.

[Braddock:] "All these negroes are descendants of the ones my father brought North with him. There are about two hundred and fifty now. You notice that they've lived so long apart from the world that their original dialect has become an almost indistinguishable patois. We bring a few of them up to speak English—my secretary and two or three of the house servants." (6.6)
Many of the prisoners in "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" don't even know that they're prisoners – and the slaves aren't the only ones.

But Mr. Washington, followed by the two boys, was already strolling on toward the ninth hole of the golf course, as though the pit and its contents were no more than a hazard over which his facile iron had triumphed with ease. (6.61)
The prison – or rather the fact that Braddock will stop at nothing to keep his diamond a secret – is the hazard in the otherwise flawless green.
