And, till I have seen her in some place of safety, I will not leave her." "Since we have come to this determination," rejoined Catesby, "as soon as the needful preparations can be made, and Guy Fawkes has had some hours' repose, we will set out.

Under cover of night we can travel with security; and, by using some exertion, may reach Ordsall Hall, whither, I presume, Viviana would choose to proceed, in the first instance, before daybreak." "I am well mounted, and so are my attendants," replied Garnet; "and, by the provident care of Sir Everard Digby, each of them has a led horse with him." "That is well," said Catesby.

"And now, Viviana, may I entreat you to take my place for a short time by the couch of the sufferer.

In a few hours everything shall be in readiness." He then retired with Garnet, while Viviana proceeded to the adjoining chamber, where she found Guy Fawkes still slumbering tranquilly.
As the evening advanced, he awoke, and appeared much refreshed.

While he was speaking, Garnet and Catesby approached his bedside, and he seemed overjoyed at the sight of the former.
