About two o'clock
This letter was read by Garnet to Greenway , both of whom are represented by Bates as spotlessly ignorant of the plot until that moment . Greenway returned with Bates , at his earnest request , attired in `` coulored satten done with gould lace , '' and was met by Catesby with the exclamation -- `` Here is a gentleman who will live and die with us ! '' From Norbrook Robert Winter despatched a servant in advance , summarily ordering his wife to `` go forth of the house , and take the children with her , '' which the obedient Gertrude did . About two o'clock on the afternoon of the sixth , thirty-six worn-out men arrived at Huddington , to be re-armed from Robert Winter 's armoury ; after which , finding himself rather at a loss in the housekeeping department , the master of the house recalled his Gertrude to minister to the comfort of himself and his guests . That submissive lady did her duty , and leaving the children with the neighbour at whose house she had taken refuge , returned to her own kitchen to superintend a hastily-prepared supper for the weary travellers . Before this was ready , Catesby and John Wright took Robert Winter aside , and tried hard to induce him to write to his father-in-law , attempting to draw him into the now almost hopeless rebellion . `` There is no remedy , Robin , '' said John Wright , `` but thou must write a letter to thy father Talbot , to see if thou canst therewith draw him unto us .
