Some people believe that Cecil wanted the plotters to be caught in the act of blowing up parliament. An anonymous letter was sent to Lord Monteagle (a Catholic) warning him to skip Parliament. This letter was kept for a week until Robert Cecil showed it to James I and they searched the cellars. A fortnight before Guy Fawkes was discovered, Cecil wrote to James I's servant saying this: “I spend my time in sowing so much seed as my poor wretched fingers can scatter, in such a season as may bring forth a plentiful harvest. I dare boldly say no shower or storm shall mar our harvest except it should come from beyond the middle region.” The plotters were from the Midlands ( middle regions).
