Well, no matter.

What he has heard may prove serviceable to him." He then returned to the chamber occupied by Guy Fawkes, and finding he had dropped into a deep and tranquil sleep, motioned Kelley, who was standing by the bedside watching his slumbers with folded arms, to follow him, and bowing gravely to Garnet quitted the hall.
As he crossed the court, on his way to the drawbridge, Catesby suddenly threw himself in his path, and laying his hand upon his sword, cried in a menacing voice,--"Doctor Dee, neither you nor your companion shall quit the hall till you have solemnly sworn not to divulge aught pertaining to the plot, of which you have so mysteriously obtained information." "Is this my recompence for rescuing your comrade from the jaws of death, sir ?" replied Dee, sternly.
"The necessity of the case must plead its excuse," rejoined Catesby.

"My own safety, and the safety of those leagued with me, require that I should be peremptory in my demand.

Did I not owe you a large debt of gratitude for your resuscitation of Guy Fawkes, I would have insured your secrecy with your life.

As it is, I will be content with your oath." "Fool!" exclaimed Dee, "stand aside, or I will compel you to do so." "Think not to terrify me by idle threats," returned Catesby.
