XXXO unhappy woman who had done the mischief perished.
Soon the flames burst out of the windows. All West- minster, all the Strand, all the river were in commo- tion. Before midnight the King's apartments, the Queen's apartments, the Wardrobe, the Treasury, the office of the Privy Council, the oflSce of the Secretary of State, had been destroyed. The two chapels per- ished together : that ancient chapel where Wolsey had heard mass in the midst of gorgeous copes, golden can- dlesticks, and jewel...led crosses, and that modem edifice which had been erected for the devotions of James and had been embellished by the pencil of Verrio and the chisel of Gibbons. Meanwhile a great extent of building had been blown up ; and it was hoped that by this expedient a stop had been put to the conflagi*ation.
But early in the morning a new fire broke out of the heaps of combustible matter which the gunpowder had scattered to right and left. The guard room was con- sumed. No trace was left of that celebrated gallery which had witnessed so many balls and pageants, iu which so many maids of honour had listened too easily t^ the vows and flatteries of gallants, and in which so many bags of gold had changed masters at tlie hazard table.
