"About daie light,"[322] on the Friday morning, he sent his page, William Ellis, and another of his servants, named Michael Rapior, on before him, and presently followed them, accompanied by the rest of his men, with the deliberate intention "to have yealded him self," and I cannot but suspect that he did so without telling Catesby. [322] S. P. Gunpowder Treason, 1605, I. n. 108; W. Ellis. He overtook Ellis and Rapior within a mile of Holbeche, and, telling his servants how desperate he believed their case to be, he made them all a present of their horses and whatever money belonging to him they happened to have upon them; he then freed them from his service and advised them to make their escape as best they could.[323] William Ellis and one other, however, "said they would never leave him, but against their will." Sir Everard made up his mind to go to "Sir Foulk Greville" and surrender himself, and he began to ask everybody whom he met on the road the way to his house.[324] As Sir Fulke Greville[325] had already obtained Warwick Castle, and was probably living there, Sir Everard must have expected to have a long ride before him.

D. had taken with him; _ib._, p. 92,--"above L1000 in ready coin, as his servants since have averred, that did escape, and one of them delivered up great part of the money to the king's officers so soon as he saw his master had fallen into the lapse." [324] Exam. of Sir E. D. [325] "Sir Fulke Greville, a man of letters, and a distinguished courtier in the reigns of Elizabeth and James I., who, at the coronation of the latter prince, was made a Knight of the Bath, and soon after was called from being Treasurer of the Navy to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, and was sworn of the privy council. In the 2nd of King James's reign he obtained a grant of Warwick Castle and other dependencies about it, and was elevated to the peerage, 29 Jan. 1620-1, by the title of Lord Brooke, &c." _Burke's Peerage_, 1886, p. 1390. Sir Fulke Greville is represented by the present Earl of Warwick. The three horsemen had been observed by some of the scouts who had been watching Holbeche House, and they gave the alarm to the body of men which had collected for the purpose of either attacking or hunting down the conspirators; the consequence was that Sir Everard, his page, and his servant had not proceeded more than a few miles when they heard shouts in the distance behind them, and on looking round, perceived that they were being pursued by that motley, but much dreaded, force known as the "hue and cry."
