Fawkes was found again,
that same night, close to midnight,
in that same spot. But this time, carrying a lantern
and wearing clothes to escape in. He said that
his name was John Johnson. When the men tried to search him, Fawkes violently
gripped Mr Doubleday. Doubleday went for his knife,
but thought the better of it and managed to restrain the traitor. A search uncovered fuses
and a pocket watch. And, thus, the plot, rather
than the Houses of Parliament, was blown. Fawkes was brought before
the King and the Privy Council and, when asked by one Scottish
lord what he needed such an amount of gunpowder for, he replied,
"To blow you Scottish beggars back "to your native mountains."
