Waiting

Lord Monteagle took his mystery letter to show to friends in government, but they were slow to act. King James was away hunting and many ministers were suspicious it might be a fake. For a few days all was quiet.

Meanwhile, the plotters quickly found out about the letter. Catesby wasn't going to give up though. He sent Guy Fawkes down to the cellar to check the gunpowder stores were still safe. All the gang could do now was wait.

When Guy Fawkes checked the cellars, he needed a lantern to light his way. Amazingly, that very lantern has survived 400 years. Can you work out which it is?
