Guy Fawkes had already disappeared, and the young merchant, shrugging his shoulders, proceeded on his way towards Hunt's Bank.
On gaining the churchyard, Guy Fawkes perceived the warden and his companion creeping stealthily beneath the shadow of a wall in the direction of a low fabric, which appeared to be a bone-house, or charnel, situated at the north-western extremity of the church.

Before this building grew a black and stunted yew-tree.

Arrived at it, they paused, and looked round to see whether they were observed.

They did not, however, notice Guy Fawkes, who had concealed himself behind a buttress.

Kelley then unlocked the door of the charnel, and brought out a pickaxe and mattock.
