The Life of a Conspirator. Thomas Longueville
Warwickshire squire, a Catholic, and celebrated for his undaunted courage—“their fine horses in the stable, she told Mr. Garnet that she feared these wild heads had something in hand, and prayed him to talk to Mr. Catesby and to hinder anything that possibly he might, for if they should attempt any foolish thing, it would redound to his discredit. Whereupon he said he would talk to Mr. Catesby.”
Another account of what was probably the same interview was given by Father Garnet himself, in his examination of March 12th, 1605.
[118]“He sayth that Mrs. Vaux came to him, eyther to Harrowden or to Sir Everard Digby’s at Gothurst, and tould this examt. that she feared that some trouble or disorder was towards [them], that some of the gentlewomen had demanded of her where they should bestow themselves until the burst[119] was past in the beginning of the Parliament. And this examt. asking her who tould her so, she said that she durst not tell who tould her so: she was [choked] with sorrow.”
An attempt was made, later, to represent the name of Vaux to be the same as that of Fawkes:—[120] “Mrs. Anne Vaux, or Fawkes, probably a relative of the conspirator;”for which there seems to be no foundation, and certainly there is none for the base imputation, in the same paragraph, of immorality between Anne Vaux and Father Garnet. Even the Protestant historian, Jardine, repudiates this calumny at considerable length.[121]
