ere treated with neglect, while men like
Arundel, Bedford, and Pembroke, who had been parties to the treasons
against her, remained in power; Lord Russell was soon after placed
under arrest; Pembroke and Winchester were ordered to keep their
houses, and the court was distracted with suspicion, discord, and
uncertainty.[85]

From such a scene Mary desired to escape to some place where she could
be at least mistress of her own movements; her impatience was

Paul's Cross. A crowd of refugees and English fanatics had collected
round the pulpit; and when he spoke something in praise of Bonner, and
said that he had been unjustly imprisoned,[86] yells rose of "Papist,
