He was ordered back to prison, and while he moaned in pain, the jailer twitted him with his text. “Ah!” the good man replied, “but it’s true enough all the same. It’s all working together for good!” and surely enough it was. For, while he lay there, Mary died, Elizabeth ascended the throne, and Bernard Gilpin was set at liberty.
