[3] In the wardrobe accounts in the British Museum (Lansdowne MSS., No. V., Art. 41), the furniture of Lady Catherine’s prison-room is catalogued. “There were five pieces of tapestry for hanging the chamber; three window-pieces of the like stuff; a sparver for a bed, of changeable silk damask; a silk quilt of red striped with gold; a bed and bolster of down with two pillows of down; one white linen quilt stuffed with wool; four pairs of fustians; two Turkey carpets; one small window carpet; one chair of cloth of gold raised with crimson velvet, with two pannels of copper gilt and the Queen’s arms on the back; one cushion of purple velvet; two footstools covered with green velvet; one cupboard joined; one bed, one bolster and a counterpane for her woman.” But some marginal notes in the handwriting of Sir Edward Warner, the Lieutenant of the Tower, state that it was all old, worn, broken and decayed, and another letter of his to Cecil in the same collection of MSS. says that the Lady Catherine did further injury to this furniture with her monkeys and her dogs.
