The operator , perceiving their confusion , desired them to retire , and , calling them back in an instant , there was not a viper to be seen . He raised their admiration by sundry other performances and the Welshman 's former opinion and abhorrence of his character began to recur , when , in consideration of the civility with which he had been treated , this Italian imparted to them all the methods by which he had acted such wonders , that were no other than the effects of natural causes curiously combined ; so that Morgan became a convert to his skill , asked pardon for the suspicion he had entertained , and invited the stranger to pass a few days with him at Canterbury . The scruples of Godfrey and Jolter were removed at the same time , and Peregrine testified his satisfaction by a handsome gratuity which he bestowed upon their entertainer .
