After half an hour they left but I heard them say as how they meant to return. I asked the old Jew if he knew the person who had caused the Fire. I thought he might if it be one of his own. He smiled and said that I was quite right - the Jews had caused it. He then stopped a moment and added, "And the printers, of course."
I knew not if he jested or what he meant by it.
"Why the printers?" I asked.
"Why the Jews?" he replied.
I knew not the meaning of it but stayed in bed. I must admit to being sore relieved when it was discovered that a follower of Rome had caused our downfall, and a Frenchman too. I was getting a liking for these Jews and wanted them to come to no harm. The Frenchman will hang of course. I should like to be there, the misery he has caused our town.
