Enderby had placed his men advantageously to resist attack, giving the defence of the rear of the house to his son. Mistress Felicity he had sent to an upper room in the care of her aunt. Presently the King's men began the action, firing wherever a figure showed itself, and carrying a log to batter in the entrance door.

Every speculation, in fact, which Ellish touched, prospered.
