iven the whole show away. How did she know? And the verse? "Tell me all--every name, every particular," the loathsome tutor was saying, "or it will be the worse for thee and thy father." Elfrida was positively green with terror, and looked appealingly at Dickie. "Come, sir," he said, in as manly a voice as he could manage, "you frighten my cousin. It is but a tale she told. She is always merry and full of many inventions." But the tutor would not be silenced. "And it's in history," he heard Elfrida say. What followed was a mist of horrible things. When the mist cleared Dickie found himself alone in the house with Mr. Parados, the nurse, and the servants, for the Earl and Countess of Arden, Edred, and Elfrida were lodged in the Tower of London on a charge of high treason. For this was, it seemed, the Fifth of November, the day on which the Gunpowder Plot should have been carried out; and Elfrida it was, and not Mr. Tresham, Lord Monteagle's cousin, who had given away the whole business. T HAPPENED YET AND THAT ELFRIDA HAD GIVEN THE WHOLE SHOW AWAY AND HOW DID SHE KNOW AND THE VERSE TELL ME ALL EVERY NAME EVERY PARTICULAR THE LOATHSOME TUTOR WAS SAYING OR IT WILL BE THE WORSE FOR THEE AND THY FATHER ELFRIDA WAS POSITIVELY GREEN WITH TERROR AND LOOKED APPEALINGLY AT DICKIE COME SIR HE SAID IN AS MANLY A VOICE AS HE COULD MANAGE YOU FRIGHTEN MY COUSIN IT IS BUT A TALE SHE TOLD SHE IS ALWAYS MERRY AND FULL OF MANY INVENTIONS BUT THE TUTOR WOULD NOT BE SILENCED AND IT'S IN HISTORY HE HEARD ELFRIDA SAY WHAT FOLLOWED WAS A MIST OF HORRIBLE THINGS WHEN THE MIST CLEARED DICKIE FOUND HIMSELF ALONE IN THE HOUSE WITH MISTER PARADOSE THE NURSE AND THE SERVANTS FOR THE EARL AND COUNTESS OF ARDEN EDRED AND ELFRIDA WERE LODED IN THE TOWER OF LONDON ON A CHARGE OF HIGH TREASON FOR THIS WAS IT SEEMED THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER THE DAY ON WHICH THE GUNPOWDER PLOT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT AND ELFRIDA IT WAS AND NOT MISTER TRESHAM LORD MONTELL'S COUSIN WHO HAD GIVEN AWAY THE WHOLE BUSINESS
