CHAPTER TWENTY
10/20

This surly-faced rogue, what did he do?
What was his business ?" "Indeed, I know not.

"He asked so many questions of the place, and was so curious to see the sisters and their scholars walk abroad, that had I a daughter in keeping there, I would be glad to get her safe back under my roof." "And did he see them ?" "I warrant you, yes.

For while he was questioning me the bell sounded, and they walked across to the Popish Chapel in the wood.

And there was my gentleman, turned Papist all of a sudden, and must needs go and worship images too." "And where has he gone now ?" I asked.
"I know not, neither do I care, so I am rid of him.
