said�察�not she。¨ 

    Hugh   looked�察  �for   a   moment�察  �as   though   he   would   have   made 

some further inquiry into this incoherent recollection�察�but Simon 

Tappertit�察  �who   had   been   meditating  deeply�察  �gave   his   thoughts   a 

new direction。 

    `Hugh� �     said   Sim。   `You   have    done    well   to´day。   You    shall   be 

rewarded。   So   have   you�察  �Dennis。!There¨s   no   young   woman  you 

want to carry off�察�is there�拭� 

    `N!no�察�   returned   that   gentleman�察  �stroking   his   grizzly   beard�察�

which was some two inches long。 `None in partickler�察�I think。¨ 

    `Very good�察� said Sim�察 �then we¨ll find some other way of making 

it  up   to  you。   As   to   you�察  �old   boy¨!he   turned   to   Hugh!`you   shall 

have Miggs ��her that I promised you�察�you know�� within three days。 

Mind。 I pass my word for it。¨ 

    Hugh  thanked   him   heartily�察  �and   as   he   did   so�察  �his   laughing   fit 

returned   with  such  violence   that  he   was   obliged   to   hold   his   side 

with one hand�察�and to lean with the  other  on   the  shoulder  of  his 

small     captain�察   �without    whose     support    he   would     certainly    have

          he   three   worthies   turned   their   faces   towards   The   Boot�察�

          with   the   intention   of   passing   the   night   in   that   place  of 

T 

          rendezvous�察      �and    of  seeking     the  repose     they   so   much 

needed   in   the   shelter  of  their  old   den�察  �for  now   that   the   mischief 

and     destruction     they   had    purposed     were    achieved�察    �and    their 

prisoners   were   safely   bestowed   for   the   night�察  �they   began   to   be 

conscious      of  exhaustion�察    �and   to  feel  the   wasting    effects   of  the 

madness which had led to such deplorable results。 

    Notwithstanding the lassitude and fatigue which oppressed him 

now�察  �in   common   with   his   two   companions�察  �and   indeed   with   all 

who     had    taken   an   active    share   in   that  night¨s    work�察   �Hugh¨s 

boisterous      merriment   broke       out  afresh    whenever      he  looked    at 

Simon      Tappertit�察   �and    vented    itself!much       to  that  gentleman¨s 

indignation!in   such  shouts   of  laughter  as  bade   fair  to   bring   the 

watch   upon   them�察  �and   involve   them   in   a   skirmish�察  �to   which   in 

their   present   worn´out   condition   they   might   prove   by   no   means 

equal。 Even Mr Dennis�察�who was not at all particular on the score 

of   gravity   or   dignity�察  �and   who   had   a   great   relish   for   his   young 

friend¨s eccentric humours�察�took occasion to remonstrate with him 

on   this   imprudent   behaviour�察  �which   he   held   to   be   a   species   of 

suicide�察�tantamount to a man¨s working himself off without being 

overtaken by the law�察�than which he could imagine nothing more 

ridiculous or impertinent。 

    Not abating one jot of his noisy mirth for these remonstrances�察�

Hugh   reeled   along   between   them�察  �having   an   arm   of   each�察  �until 

they hove in sight of The Boot�察�and were within a field or  two  of 

that convenient tavern。   He   happened by  great  good   luck   to  have

roared   and   shouted   himself   into   silence   by   this   time。   They   were 

proceeding   onward   without   noise�察  �when   a   scout   who   had   been 

creeping about the ditches all night�察  �to  warn   any  stragglers   from 

encroaching   further   on   what   was   now   such   dangerous   ground�察�

peeped   cautiously   from   his   hiding´place�察  �and   called   to   them           to 

stop。 

    `Stop� �and why�拭� said Hugh。 

    Because ��the scout replied�� the house was filled with constables 

and   soldiers�察  �having  been   surprised   that   afternoon。   The   inmates 

had   fled   or  been   taken into  custody�察  �he could   not   say   which。   He 

had prevented a great many people from approaching nearer�察�and 

he believed they had gone to the markets and such places to pass 

the night。 He had seen the distant fires�察�but they were all out now。 

He   had   heard   the   people   who   passed   and   repassed�察  �speaking   of 

them too�察�and could report that the prevailing opinion was one of 

apprehension and dismay。 He had not heard a word of Barnaby! 

didn¨t   even   know   his   name!but   it   had   been   said   in   his   hearing 

that    some     man    had    been    taken     and    carried    off  to   Newgate。 

Whether this was true or false�察�he could not affirm。 

    The three took counsel together�察�on   hearing  this�察�and debated 

what     it  might    be   best   to   do。  Hugh�察    �deeming      it  possible     that 

Barnaby   was   in   the   hands   of   the   soldiers�察  �and   at   that   moment 

under   detention   at   The   Boot�察  �was   for   advancing   stealthily�察  �and 

firing  the   house�察  �but   his   companions�察  �who   objected   to   such   rash 

measures unless they had a crowd at their backs�察�represented that 

if   Barnaby      were    taken    he   had    assuredly     been     removed      to  a 

stronger  prison�察  �they  would never  have   dreamed  of  keeping   him 

all   night   in   a   place   so   weak   and   open   to   attack。   Yielding   to   this 

reasoning�察�and to their persuasions�察�Hugh consented to turn back

and to repair to Fleet Market�察�for which place�察�it seemed�察�a few of 

their boldest associates had shaped their course�察�on receiving the 

same intelligence。 

    Feeling   their   strength   recruited   and   their   spirits   roused�察  �now 

that there was a new necessity for action�察�they hurried away�察�quite 

forgetful of the fatigue   under  which  they  had   been   sinking but  a 

few    minutes     before�察   �and    soon   arrived     at  their   new    place    of 

destination。 

    Fleet Market�察�at that time�察�was a long irregular row of wooden 

sheds and penthouses�察�occupying the centre of what is now called 

Farringdon        Street。    They    were     jumbled     together     in   a   most 

unsightly      fashion�察   �in   the   middle     of  the    road�察   �to  the   great 

obstruction of the thoroughfare and the annoyance of passengers�察�

who were fain to make their way�察�as they best could�察�among carts�察�

baskets�察�barrows�察�trucks�察�casks�察�bulks�察  �and  benches�察 �and   to  jostle 

with porters�察�hucksters�察�waggoners�察�and a motley crowd of buyers�察�

sellers�察  �pick´pockets�察  �vagrants�察  �and   idlers。   The   air   was   perfumed 

with the stench of rotten leaves and faded fruit�察�the refuse of the 

butchers¨ stalls�察�and offal and garbage of a hundred kinds。 It was 

indispensable to most public conveniences in those days�察�that they 

should be public nuisances likewise�察�and Fleet Market maintained 

the principle to admiration。 

    To   this   place�察  �perhaps   because   its   sheds   and   baskets   were   a 

tolerable   substitute   for   beds�察  �or   perhaps   because   it   afforded   the 

means of a hasty barricade in case of need�察�many of the rioters had 

straggled�察�not only that night�察�but for two or three nights before。 It 

was now broad day�察�but the morning being cold�察�a group of them 

were   gathered   round   a   fire   in   a   public´house�察  �drinking   hot   purl�察�

and smoking pipes�察�and planning new schemes for to´morrow。

    Hugh  and   his   two  friends   being  known   to  most   of   these   men�察�

were received with signal marks of approbation�察�and inducted into 

the    most    honourable       seats。   The    room´door      was    closed    and 

fastened to keep intruders at a distance�察�and then they proceeded 

to exchange news。 

    `The  soldiers   have   taken   possession   of   The   Boot�察  �I   hear�察�   said 

Hugh。 `Who knows anything about it�拭� 

    Several   cried   that   they   did�察  �but   the   majority   of   the   company 

having     been    engaged     in  the  assault   upon    the   Warren�察    �and   all 

present     having    been    concerned     in  one   or   other   of  the  night¨s 

expeditions�察�it proved that they knew no more than Hugh himself�察�

having   been   merely   warned   by   each   other�察  �or   by   the   scout�察  �and 

knowing nothing of their own knowledge。 

    `We left a man on guard there to´day�察� said Hugh�察�looking round 

him�察 �who is not here。 You know who it is!Barnaby�察�who brought 

the soldier down�察�at Westminster。 Has   any  man  seen   or  heard   of 

him�拭� 

    They     shook    their  heads�察   �and    murmured       an   answer     in  the 

negative�察  �as   each   man   looked   round   and   appealed   to   his   fellow�察�

when a noise was heard without�察�and a man was heard to say that 

he wanted Hugh!that he must see Hugh。 

    `He is but one man�察� cried Hugh to those who kept the door�察 �let
