Guy Fawkes Laying the Train"Concealing the barrels as before with faggots
and coals, they gave the place the appearance of a mere receptacle for
lumber, by filling it with old hampers, boxes without lids, broken
bottles, stone jars, and other rubbish. They now began to think of
separating, and Fawkes expressed his intention of returning that night to
the house at Lambeth. No intelligence had reached them of Viviana's
captivity, and they supposed her still an inmate of the miserable dwelling
with Father Oldcorn."- p.190
The engravings, on steel, by George Cruikshank for Ainsworth's
novel illustrate the style of the modern image of the plot quite well.
