Then I told Don Sanchez how we had resolved to tell Moll no more of our purpose than was necessary for the moment , which pleased him , I thought , mightily , he saying that our success or failure depended upon secrecy as much as anything , for which reason he had kept us in the dark as much as ever it was possible . About eight o'clock three saddle nags were brought to the door , and we , mounting , set out for London , where we arrived about ten , the roads being fairly passable save in the marshy parts about Shoreditch , where the mire was knee-deep ; so to Gracious Street , and there leaving our nags at the Turk inn , we walked down to the Bridge stairs , and thence with a pair of oars to Greenwich . Here , after our tedious chilly voyage , we were not ill-pleased to see the inside of an inn once more , and Don Sanchez , taking us to the King 's posting-house , orders a fire to be lighted in a private room , and the best there was in the larder to be served us in the warm parlour . While we were at our trenchers Don Sanchez says : `` At two o'clock two men are coming hither to see me . One is a master mariner named Robert Evans , the other a merchant adventurer of his acquaintance whom I have not yet seen . Now you are to mark these two men well , note all they say and their manner of speaking , for to-morrow you will have to personate these characters before one who would be only too glad to find you at fault .
