Chapter 59 Summary

Hugh, Dennis, and Sim have hidden from the other dispersing rioters with a nearby carriage containing Emma and Dolly. They take the women to a house in London and threaten them. Dolly is momentarily relieved when she sees Sim, but realizes quickly that he sees himself as the men’s ringleader and her future husband. They leave the women being guarded and promise to return the next day.

Chapter 60 Summary

Hugh, Dennis, and Sim head toward The Boot but are told by a scout that the pub has been raided. Many of the rioters have gone to Fleet Market, where the three men go to ask about Barnaby, but no one there has seen him. A man brings Hugh news from Barnaby and several of the men attempt to rush to Newgate Prison, but the ringleaders stop them and plan to burn all jails in London the following night.

Chapter 61 Summary

Haredale gets no help escorting Barnaby Rudge Sr. to prison, as all rioters coming from London have pledged to do harm to anyone who even helps a Catholic. He takes Rudge to London on his own, but the Lord Mayor refuses to help him and another Catholic man whose house has been threatened. Though the man has little to offer Haredale, he offers his home to him anyway.
