We marched shouting through the streets, calling for vengeance on the Queen's enemies, and waiting till they should be brought in, on their way to the Tower.
As for me, my joy was mingled with strange trouble; for, if Ludar should be among them-- "The leader of them is one Babington," said Will Peake, "and besides him are half-a-dozen dogs as foul--English, all of them." "Save one," said another, "who I hear is Irish." "Irish!" cried I, as white as paper.

"What is his name ?" "Not Dexter," said the fellow, looking at me in amaze.

"Why, man, what ails you ?" "Tell me his name, as you love me," said I.
"How should I know the name of every cowardly hound that walks the streets?
Go and ask them that can tell you." I walked away miserable, and waited at the Aldersgate to see the prisoners come by.
When at last the cry was raised, I scarcely durst look up, for fear that among them should tower the form of Ludar.

But when I lifted my eyes and saw only six hang-dog men, who held their hands to their ears to keep out the yelling of the mob, and shrunk closer to their guards to save them from a worse fate than the hangman's, the beating of my heart eased.

For he was not amongst them.
