It was nearer two hours than one before Nan returned, carrying a very large bundle beneath her arm and announcing that what several poor gentlemen had exchanged for a pittance, Nan had rescued in Joan’s cause. During which time Joan began to experience her first serious doubts about her undertaking. She had fooled the waiter and lying Alice and old Mother Franklin with her disguise, and even Nan had admitted momentarily being deceived, but would she deceive the clever lawyers at the Temple and especially the treacherous and probably homicidal Theophilus Phipps? By the time Nan made her appearance, Joan had worked herself into a state of considerable anxiety. Yet Nan herself seemed to have cast away her reservations, for she said, when entering, “Now, my good Jack Stock. We’ll fit you out as becomes your station as a prosperous merchant’s son, with doublet, hose, and codpiece too, shoes with silver buckles, and a cloak neither patched nor threadbare but of good solid stuff.”

Joan changed into one of the suits in the bundle while Nan helped her put the final touches on her disguise. Then Nan wished Joan all the success she deserved and the two women embraced warmly as though they had known each other all their lives.
