"And what became of the daughter who married Turberville?" "Died years ago," said Crenshaw. "She was here the last time about thirty years back.
"The clostest shooting rifle you ever sighted eh?" he repeated. "Why, aren't you afraid of it?" "No," said Hannibal scornfully. "But she kicks you some if you don't hold her right."

William Howard, Viscount Stafford, one of the unhappy men who had been accused of a share in the plot, was impeached; and on the testimony of Oates and of two other false witnesses, Dugdale and Turberville, was found guilty of high treason, and suffered death. But the circumstances of his trial and execution ought to have given an useful warning to the Whig leaders.

Here till almost two o'clock, and then home to dinner, and set down presently what I had done and said this day, and so abroad by water to Eagle Court in the Strand, and there to an alehouse: met Mr. Pierce, the Surgeon, and Dr. Clerke, Waldron, Turberville, my physician for the eyes, and Lowre, to dissect several eyes of sheep and oxen, with great pleasure, and to my great information.
Then Turberville, who said falsely that he had once been a friar, and at Douay, related how my Lord, as he had said, had attempted to bribe him to kill the King, and suchlike nonsense. This, he said, had happened in France. My Lord Stafford questioned the prisoners a little; and shewed up many holes in their story.
