Guy Fawkes was presented by Catesby to Sir William Radcliffe and Sir Everard Digby.

To Garnet he required no introduction, and Father Oldcorne was known to all.

After a little further conversation, the party adjourned to the house, which belonged to a Welsh Catholic gentleman, named Griffiths, who, though absent at the time, had surrendered it to the use of Sir Everard Digby and his friends.
On their entrance, Viviana was introduced by her father to Lady Digby, who presided as hostess, and welcomed her with great cordiality.

She was then conducted to her own room, where she was speedily joined by Sir William; and they remained closeted together till summoned to the principal meal of the day.

At the table, which was most hospitably served, Viviana found, in addition to her former companions, a large assemblage, to most of whom she was a stranger, consisting of Anne Vaux, Mr.Brooksby and his wife, Ambrose Rookwood, two brothers named Winter, two Wrights, Francis Tresham,--persons of whom it will be necessary to make particular mention hereafter,--and several others, in all amounting to thirty.
The meal over, the company dispersed, and Viviana and her father, passing through an open window, wandered forth upon a beautiful and spreading lawn, and thence under the shade of the beech-trees.
