W Then we had a tong talk. “Delia was bound for her estates in Corn- wall. I was also bound for Cornwall, there to deliver to King Charles I, the letter intrusted to me by Anthony. We decided to make thé Journey to- Bether. 1 secured a sult of boy's clothes for Delia, that she might thus pass More safely through that war-harassed country, and we set out, But, on the firet day, nearing Marl- Dorbugtt Town, we fell into the hands - Of a party of Cromwell's men and were baled before Col, Essex. There the Sing’s letter was discovered when they @earched me and I was packed off to fail, sefitenced to hang as a spy. Della Was turned over to Mistress Finch, a Puritan lady, for protection. On the night before I was to have Deen hanged, Della, by bribing my Jall- t's daughter, smuggled a file to me. With this I managed to sever the bars @f my cell and, by a rope of sheets, to Jower myself to the street below. Geeing the watch approach, I dived into ‘an open hatchway into a cellar, which I learned later was the Governor's Bouse. There most of Cromwell's.am- munition was stored. The door was open, because an old man had just pre- Geded me into-the crypt. { saw him by the dim glow of his own lantern. It @hamed me to lift f weapon against One 80 weak. I leaped forward. The @1d fellow jumped like a boy, turned and faced me with dronned jaw. which fave me an opportunity to thrust a @loth, not over-roughly, into his mouth. Then, having turned him on his back, I strapped & kerchief tight across his mouth and took the lantern from his hand. Then I bound him with his own Delt. . I took @ bunch of keys from his Decket and unlocked a door at the far @n@ of the cellar. For I dared not re- turn to the street by the way I had come. I locked the door after me, and ‘W@ipped the key into my pocket as I more I extinguished my lan While I stgod pondering, was answetd for me.
