Chapter 13: This chapter begins with Widge worrying about
how he will be able to transcribe Hamlet without being caught in the act.
On the following Sunday morning, Widge and Sander entertain Mr. Pope's orphans by telling them
stories and giving them horseback rides.
They then attend church, and
afterwards, Sander suggests that they visit St. Paul's Cathedral. He offers to pay for the
Thames crossing. Upon arrival at the cathedral, Widge is stunned to see that the cathedral
courtyard is packed with visitors and vendors' booths. Here, Sander also pays for him and Widge
to go up the St. Paul Tower. At the top, the two can see the queen's London residence and the
Tower prison.
After descending from the Tower, the two walk through the
cathedral courtyard. Widge is surprised to see the works of Shakespeare on sale. The only work
he does not see, of course, is Hamlet . While strolling through the
courtyard, Widge suddenly sees Falconer. He panics and takes off with Sander calling after
him....
