"Guess you're kind o' right about that, Fan; anyhow, we'll make a start on it. You find another place for the brat." "'Greed; when shall I do it?" "The sooner, the better. It might die of cold any night in that horrible den. Ugh!" "I've been in worse places. Bedlow street is full of them, and so is Briar street and Dirty alley. You don't know anything about it."
Nick Allstyne, indeed, did take him into a corner, with a vast show of secrecy, requested him to have an ordinance passed, through his new and influential friends, turning Bedlow Park into a polo ground; while Payne Winthrop added insult to injury by shaking hands with him and most gravely congratulating him but upon what he would not say.
The authority just mentioned states, when Bedlow "was taxed with having cheated a great many merchants abroad, and gentlemen at home, by personating my Lord Gerard and other men of quality, and by divers other cheats, he made it an argument to be more credited in this matter, saying nobody but a rogue could be employed in such designs."
"Nor was there," he added, "a Roman Catholic of any quality or credit but was acquainted with these designs and had received the sacrament from their father confessors to be secret in carrying it out." It by no means pleased Oates that Bedlow should surpass him in his knowledge of this hellish plot.
During the examination, Evelyn tells us, "the bench was crowded with the judges, lord mayor, justices, and innumerable spectators." After a tedious trial of nine hours, the jury brought the prisoners in not guilty, "without," says Evelyn, "sufficient disadvantage and reflection on witnesses, especially on Oates and Bedlow."
On the examination before the House of Lords of Oates and Bedlow, their evidence proved so vague and contradictory that it was rejected even by the most credulous. When Bedlow was asked "why he had not disclosed such a perilous matter in conjunction with his previous information touching the murder of Sir Edmondbury Godfrey," he coolly replied, "it had escaped his memory."
Though Shaftesbury's hand was not plainly seen, there can be no doubt it was busily employed in working out his favourite design. The blow was first aimed at her majesty by Bedlow, who, on the 25th of November, accused her of conspiring to kill her husband.
"Is old Miss Bedlow dead, Ma?" asked Peletiah, pausing in the act of getting some gravy to his mouth. "Yes, dear. Take care, Peletiah, and pay attention to your dinner." Peletiah set down the mouthful on his plate. "I hain't got to go, have I, Ma?" he asked, in trepidation. "No, dear; now go on with your dinner, and don't say 'hain't."
One day, William Staley happened to enter a pastrycook's shop in Covent Garden, opposite his bank, where there chanced to stand at the time a fellow named Carstairs; one of the infamous creatures who, envious of the honours and riches heaped on Oates and Bedlow, resolved to make new discoveries and enjoy like rewards.
Oates and the said Bedlow. The doctor, whose zeal was very hot, could never hear any man after this talk against the plot, or against the witnesses, but he thought he was one of the tories, and called almost every man who opposed him in his discourse a tory till at last the word became popular. Hume's account of it is not very much different from this.
