Dick followed the man with black forebodings . CHAPTER III -- THE ROOM OVER THE CHAPEL From the battlements nothing further was observed . The sun journeyed westward , and at last went down ; but , to the eyes of all these eager sentinels , no living thing appeared in the neighbourhood of Tunstall House . When the night was at length fairly come , Throgmorton was led to a room overlooking an angle of the moat . Thence he was lowered with every precaution ; the ripple of his swimming was audible for a brief period ; then a black figure was observed to land by the branches of a willow and crawl away among the grass . For some half hour Sir Daniel and Hatch stood eagerly giving ear ; but all remained quiet . The messenger had got away in safety . Sir Daniel 's brow grew clearer . He turned to Hatch . `` Bennet , '' he said , `` this John Amend-All is no more than a man , ye see . He sleepeth . We will make a good end of him , go to ! '' All the afternoon and evening , Dick had been ordered hither and thither , one command following another , till he was bewildered with the number and the hurry of commissions . All that time he had seen no more of Sir Oliver , and nothing of Matcham ; and yet both the priest and the young lad ran continually in his mind . It was now his chief purpose to escape from Tunstall Moat House as speedily as might be ; and yet , before he went , he desired a word with both of these . At length , with a lamp in one hand , he mounted to his new apartment . It was large , low , and somewhat dark . The window looked upon the moat , and although it was so high up , it was heavily barred . The bed was luxurious , with one pillow of down and one of lavender , and a red coverlet worked in a pattern of roses . All about the walls were cupboards , locked and padlocked , and concealed from view by hangings of dark-coloured arras .
Dick made the round , lifting the XXXXX , sounding the panels , seeking vainly to open the cupboards .
