This has probably been mentioned elsewhere, but ... wouldn't that wall have been very, very easy to push over until the mortar dried?!? In the Poe story, the victim is chained to the wall (as was Barnabas that time he was walled up in the basement of the Old House) and thus couldn't reach the newly constructed brick wall. In this case, though, Trask could easily have pushed or kicked it down.
I guess a little "suspension of disbelief" is in order ...
Also, when you think of it ... Quentin's room is pretty nice accommodations ... can it really be all that bad? I mean, Trask could have been manacled by the arms (as Barnabas was by Trask's ancestor) in a cold damp dungeon ...
