Three o'clock in the afternoon
Percy spent the Monday in a visit to the Earl of Northumberland at Syon ; Christopher Wright and Thomas Winter in buying articles needful for the coming journey . In the morning Rookwood accidentally met Catesby , whose spirits had risen . There was no need to fear things would go on well . Three o'clock in the afternoon saw Lord Suffolk , the Lord Chamberlain of the Household , accompanied by Lord Monteagle , descending into the vaults of the House of Lords . They glanced into different parts , and coming to the cellar immediately under the House , the Lord Chamberlain noticed that it was apparently filled with stacked faggots . `` Whose are all these ? '' said he .
