They decided to leave on the next day, after geting more convenient clothes for the boy. At night, Edward requested to be undressed and be tucked in bed, as they normally did in the palace, and again he took the unique bed in the room. Miles slept on the floor.
Hendon left early in the morning to get some new clothes while Edward kept sleeping. When he returned the boy was gone. He asked the innkeeper and he found out a rude man had taken the boy, saying he had been sent by Hendon himself.
Miles left immediately in his pursuit. Foully tricked, Edward had been taken by John Canty to a thieves hidding place in an abandoned barn nearby Southwark, an inadvisable área at the other side of the Tames.
Escaping from his crime, John Canty had taken refuge among thieves, false blinds and nasty ruffians.
In spite of Canty'swarnings, the King kept on bahaving as such, so all of them mocked him and they started calling him King Foo-Foo, the First.-
