Crispin comes downstairs to find that the tavern room has been trashed.
Widow Daventry has been beaten by soldiers and is weeping.
She is angry with Crispin because of all that has happened, and she's also a little angry with Bear for getting mixed up with the likes of John Ball.
She tells Crispin he needs to hide in the secret compartment until nightfall, when he needs to get out of town.
She believes the soldiers will torture Bear to try to find Crispin, but either way Bear's a goner.
Crispin creeps back into his hiding place, feeling truly terrible about all of this.
