179. What's the matter with thee, eh?Copy !req
180. Shh.Copy !req
181. I've seen no apples

182. I would thou hadst found them.Copy !req
183. I so wish for one.Copy !req
184. Hear that?Copy !req
185. Aye.Copy !req
186. Who's there?Copy !req
187. I be the Witch of the Wood!Copy !req

201. Aye, it was a witch,
Mercy, you speak aright.Copy !req
202. - Thomasin! -It was I. Liar.Copy !req
203. Twas I what stole him,
I be the witch of the wood.Copy !req
204. - Liar! Liar!
- I am.Copy !req
205. List not to her, Mercy.Copy !req
206. I am that very witch.Copy !req
207. When I sleep, my spirit slips
away from my bodyCopy !req
208. and dances naked with The Devil.Copy !req
209. - That's how I signed his book.
- No.Copy !req
210. He bade me bring him an
unbaptized babe,Copy !req
211. so I stole Sam
and I gave him to me master.Copy !req
212. And I'll make any man
or thing else vanish I like.Copy !req
213. - No.
- Aye.Copy !req
214. And I'll vanish thee, too,
if thou displeaseth me. -Be quiet!
- Mercy, she's but telling fantasies.Copy !req
215. Perchance I boil and bake thee
since we're lack of food.Copy !req
216. - No!
- Stop, Thomasin!Copy !req
217. - I'ts not true! -It is, thou thing!
How I crave to sink my teeth into
thy pink flesh.Copy !req
218. If ever thou tellst thy Mother
of this, I'll witch thee and
thy Mother! And Jonas too!Copy !req
219. - Caleb! -Stop thy tears and swear by silence.
- I swear it. -You'll not tell Mother nor
father. -I swear. -Thomasin! Let her alone.Copy !req
220. Get away from her, Caleb,
or she'll witch thee!Copy !req
221. Why tell Mercy
those horrible fantasies?Copy !req
222. - Dost thou hate me now too?
- It was a wolf stole Sam.Copy !req
223. Leave me be. Go tell Mother
and father of my wickedness.Copy !req
224. - Thomasin…
- I hate thy pity. I need it not.Copy !req
225. And forgive us the sins we have
this day committed against thee,Copy !req
226. free us from the shame and torment
which are due unto us, Father.Copy !req
227. We beseech thee, increase our faith
in the promise of the Gospel,Copy !req
228. our fear of thy name
and the hatred of all our sins,Copy !req
229. that we may be assured that
the Holy Spirit dwells in us.Copy !req
230. That we might be thy children
in thy love and mercy,Copy !req
231. but as we hunger
for this food of our bodiesCopy !req
232. so our souls hunger
for the food of eternal life.Copy !req
233. Finish soon our days of sin,
and bring us to eternal peaceCopy !req
234. through the purifying
blood of Thy Son,Copy !req
235. our Lord and only Savior
Jesus Christ.Copy !req
236. - Amen.
- Amen.Copy !req
237. Thomasin, what's thou done
with the silver cup?Copy !req
238. Is't not on the shelf?Copy !req
239. Nay.Copy !req
240. In the six board, then.
T'ain't there neither.Copy !req
241. It's been disappeared
for some while.Copy !req
242. Didst lose it?Copy !req
243. I've not touched it.Copy !req
244. Where has it gone then?Copy !req
245. I haven't touched it.
I've caught thee trifling with it before.
She says she haven't touched it, Katherine.Copy !req
246. How thou couldst lose my father's
silver wine cup in this hovel,Copy !req
247. - I cannot know. -I haven't touched
it. Peace, child. It's gone.Copy !req
248. Did a wolf vanish that too?Copy !req
249. She haven't touched it, Katherine.Copy !req
250. What is amiss
on this farm? Hmm?Copy !req
251. It is not natural.Copy !req
252. Caleb, will thou read out
a chapter of the Word tonight?Copy !req
253. We must find some light
in our darkness.Copy !req
254. Tomorrow we will have a fast day
but for our sins.Copy !req
255. Thomasin, dist not bed them down
before supper?Copy !req
256. Baah, baah.Copy !req
257. Oh, Holy and blessed Spirit,
be with me and dwell in me heart.Copy !req
258. You must sleep tonight, Kate.Copy !req
259. This night and evermore, amen.Copy !req
260. Thou dost remember I love thee?Copy !req
261. I do.Copy !req
262. List me, Kate,Copy !req
263. I fear thou dost look
too much upon this affliction.Copy !req
264. We must turn our thoughts
towards God, not to ourselves.Copy !req
265. He hath never taken a child from us.
Never a one, Kate.Copy !req
266. Who might earn such grace?Copy !req
267. We have been
grateful of God's love.Copy !req
268. He hath cursed this family. No.Copy !req
269. He hath taken us
into a very low condition to humble usCopy !req
270. and to show us more of His grace.Copy !req
271. Was not Christ lead into the wilderness
to be ill met by the Devil?Copy !req
272. We should ne'er have left
the plantation.Copy !req
273. Kate.Copy !req
274. - We should never have left!
- That damned church.Copy !req
275. - There's naught hither!
- Well, what need we? Silver chalices?Copy !req
276. How dare you chide me on a cup?Copy !req
277. Tis not for vanity
that I am grieved of it.Copy !req
278. Katherine, I must tell thee…
- We might have sold it. -What?Copy !req
279. What fool would trade for our corn?Copy !req
280. List me, our daughter hath begat
the sign of her womanhood.Copy !req
281. Thomasin? Caleb?Copy !req
282. Are you abed?Copy !req
283. Mercy?Copy !req
284. Jonas?Copy !req
285. She's old enough.
She must leave to serve another family.Copy !req
286. Twas not her fault.
Kate, I must tell thee…Copy !req
287. Aye, it was thine
for taking thy family hither.Copy !req
288. This is Godly
land. Godly?Copy !req
289. Our children are being fostered
up like savages. Kate!Copy !req
290. How oft I begged and begged
thee to take Samuel for baptism?Copy !req
291. They'd not baptize
outside the congregation.Copy !req
292. Our Sam is in hell!Copy !req
293. Go to.Copy !req
294. God save us, Caleb is well.Copy !req
295. We must keep him still.
And Thomasin. Our corn is trash!
We cannot back to that church.Copy !req
296. We will starve! Peace,
peace. You'll wake them, peace.Copy !req
297. I'll to the village
with the horse and Thomasin tomorrow.Copy !req
298. The Tildens or the Whythings,Copy !req
299. they can make use of her.Copy !req
300. They're good folk.Copy !req
301. Stop, Kate.Copy !req
302. We will find food, I know it.Copy !req
303. Caleb?Copy !req
304. What are you doing?Copy !req
305. Go to sleep.Copy !req
306. What is this?
Tell me, now.Copy !req
307. - Running away then? -No.
- Lie not to me. -I don't.Copy !req
308. Then what?Copy !req
309. Tell me!Copy !req
310. If thou went back to sleep
and kept silent of this,Copy !req
311. I promise thee,Copy !req
312. you'll need not leave to serve
the Tildens nor any family else.Copy !req
313. I'll be back by mid-day.Copy !req
314. - Well, let me along with ya.
- No.Copy !req
315. - Let me along.
- I cannot.Copy !req
316. If you don't let me along with ya,Copy !req
317. I'll wake Mother
and father this instant.Copy !req
318. Well?Copy !req
319. Aye, but we did!Copy !req
320. - Nay.
- We did!Copy !req
321. No.Copy !req
322. We had glass windows in
England. We haven't been hither
so long you can forget that.Copy !req
323. As you like, Thomasin?Copy !req
324. You've gone mad.Copy !req
325. Dost not remember Fowler
laying on the floor in the sun?Copy !req
326. - You must!
- Nay.Copy !req
327. And where the sun would shine,
would he warm himself.Copy !req
328. Remember once he lay upon the
table, and father saw him and he
saith, "We will have him for meat!Copy !req
329. Kate! Kate!
We will roast this beast."Copy !req
330. You must remember that!Copy !req
331. I remember that day,
but no glass.Copy !req
332. Well… it was pretty.Copy !req
333. What is't, boy?Copy !req
334. Burt, calm thee!Copy !req
335. Fowler! Nay, Fowler!Copy !req
336. Stand here with Burt.Copy !req
337. - Caleb, no.
- I'll straight back.Copy !req
338. He's gone mad!Copy !req
339. - Thomasin!
- Caleb!Copy !req
340. - Thomasin!
- Thomasin!Copy !req
341. - Caleb!
- Caleb!Copy !req
342. - Caleb!
- Caleb!Copy !req
343. - Thomasin!
- Caleb!Copy !req
344. Thomasin!Copy !req
345. - Thomasin!
- Caleb!Copy !req
346. Thomasin!Copy !req
347. Fowler!Copy !req
348. O God, my Lord, I now begin,
o help me and I'll leave my sin.Copy !req
349. For I repentant now shall be,
From evil I will turn to Thee.Copy !req
350. None ever shall destroy my faith,
nor do I mind what Satan saith.Copy !req
351. O God, my Lord, I now begin,
O, help me and I'll leave my sin,Copy !req
352. For I repentant now shall be,
from evil I will turn to Thee.Copy !req
353. None ever shall destroy my faith,
nor do I mind what Satan saith.Copy !req
354. O God, my Lord, I now begin,
O help me and I…Copy !req
355. Caleb!Copy !req
356. Caleb!Copy !req
357. - Caleb!
- Father!Copy !req
358. Thomasin.Copy !req
359. Oh, my girl, my girl.Copy !req
360. Where is thy brother?Copy !req
361. What's the matter with thee, Thomasin? What's
the matter with thee? I'll set off at first
light. I'll not return until I've found him.Copy !req
362. T'would be better to go to the village
to raise up help, I cannot…
Tis a day's ride and I have no horse.Copy !req
363. There's no time to be lost.Copy !req
364. Likely you should have left
this morn, then.Copy !req
365. You have no gun, William, nay,
not even a dog. -Be not a fool!
- I am a fool to go.Copy !req
366. There is none will help this family.Copy !req
367. Let me be!Copy !req
368. The moon is bright,
the rain bothers me not.Copy !req
369. I'll be back in a two-day,
if any a man will return with me.Copy !req
370. - Don't go, Father!
- Enough!Copy !req
371. Tell us why you went to the wood.Copy !req
372. - I promised.

380. Forgive me, Kate.
Forgive me, Thomasin.Copy !req
381. What is this?Copy !req
382. Katherine, I must make confession.Copy !req
383. I yestermorn took Caleb
to the wood.Copy !req
384. Twas for food,
and the pelts for money, good money.Copy !req
385. I knew you were false! I knew it!
I meant it as a surprise,
that is why I kept secret.Copy !req
386. I will trap that wolf, Kate.
You stood by whilst our son lied to me!Copy !req
387. Twas for thy sake! I love thee, Kate.
- You took him to the woods! -I will find him!
You've broken God's covenant. You're a liar.Copy !req
388. And you've lost another child.Copy !req
389. - I will go now.
- You cannot escape the woods.Copy !req
390. I will find him!Copy !req
391. And kill thyself too?
Will Jonas be the man of the house?Copy !req
392. Will you damn all your family to death?Copy !req
393. - Katherine!
- Let go of me!Copy !req
394. Picking apples.Copy !req
395. Mother, have the goats

410. with those eyes
of grace and compassion.Copy !req
411. Pity thy wounded servant…Copy !req
412. Baa, baa. Baa, baa, baa.Copy !req
413. What ails Caleb, Black Phillip?
What ails him? Did Thomasin
make 'im sick in the wood?Copy !req
414. What say you?Copy !req
415. Black Phillip says you are wicked.Copy !req
416. Aye, he told me too.Copy !req
417. Damn your Black Phillip. He says you put the
Devil in Caleb, that's why he's sick.Copy !req
418. I'd never hurt Caleb,
nor Sam, nor thee.Copy !req
419. - You beat me. -T'was a jest. -You said you'd
eat of me. -Mercy! Mother and Father will
find out. -What? -That you are a witch!Copy !req
420. Thomasin!Copy !req
421. Thomasin?Copy !req
422. Dost remember John Kempe's son?Copy !req
423. That first winter, he was tormented
of Indian magic. 'Tis not the same.Copy !req
424. - This is unnatural providence.
- I know not that.Copy !req
425. Look at thy son.Copy !req
426. - Will.
- What?Copy !req
427. - Think!
- Think what?Copy !req
428. - Think!
- I have no thoughts.Copy !req
429. Does this not look
like witchcraft?Copy !req
430. What witch?Copy !req
431. Who does this then? Who?Copy !req
432. Thy thoughts are as a child.Copy !req
433. What are you doing?Copy !req
434. We'll back to the plantation
in the morning.Copy !req
435. Find a good family for Thomasin,
take Caleb to the doctor's.Copy !req
436. He'll tell if this be
some natural ill or not.Copy !req
437. Yet we cannot
return as beggars.Copy !req
438. I'll scour the field. There must be
some fruit yet untouched by this rot.Copy !req
439. I beseech thee, Katherine, what canst thou do
for him presently? How might we all bare it
to the village with no horse?Copy !req
440. Well, the little corn and the goat should
fetch a fair price. We'll… We'll back
with Caleb and sell them,Copy !req
441. return with the horse for the twins
and Thomasin. -You cannot leave
them here! -Thomasin and thee…Copy !req
442. Oh, forget the crop, Will! What?Copy !req
443. What dost thou want, Katherine?Copy !req
444. Tell me and I will give it thee.Copy !req

446. Thou shall be home,
by candle-time tomorrow.Copy !req
447. In England.Copy !req
448. Oh, Will…Copy !req
449. I also have a confession to make.Copy !req
450. I never meant to be a shrew to thee.Copy !req
451. I have become as Job's wife,
I know it.Copy !req
452. But since Sam, since…Copy !req
453. My heart has turned to stone.Copy !req
454. I dreamed once,
t'was when I was of Thomasin's years,Copy !req
455. that I was with Christ upon Earth.Copy !req
456. Oh, I was so very near Him.Copy !req
457. And in many tears for the assurance
of the pardon of me sins.Copy !req
458. And I was so ravaged
with His love towards me,Copy !req
459. I thought it far exceeding
the affection of the kindest husband.Copy !req
460. And since Samuel disappeared…Copy !req
461. …I have such a sad weakness
of faith, I cannot shake it.Copy !req
462. I cannot see Christ's help as near.Copy !req
463. I pray and I pray, but I cannot.Copy !req
464. I fear I cannot ever feel
that same measure of love again.Copy !req
465. Thou shall have of it in Heaven.Copy !req
466. I'll be in field.Copy !req
467. If you can spare a while, do.Copy !req
468. We'll leave at dawn.Copy !req
469. I promise thee that.Copy !req
470. Jonas, Mercy, come hither!Copy !req

merry king -He rules the land with mirth…

mighty sting He'll knock thee to the EarthCopy !req

501. She gave him to the Devil in the
wood! -They lie! -What say you?
She turned Flora's milk to blood!Copy !req
502. She had bade us keep secret from you!
- It was but a jest to quiet her,
I… -She made bargain with Satan!Copy !req
503. - She signed his book! -Silence! Don't let
her near me! She'll put a curse on me! -They
conspire against me. -Thomasin is a witch!Copy !req
504. Nay, I'll not hear it.Copy !req
505. I'll have proof, or Heaven help thee.Copy !req
506. On thy knees!Copy !req

You cannot hunt!Copy !req
609. - Is that truth enough? -Enough.
Thou canst do nothing save cut wood!Copy !req

in the shape of a he-goat.Copy !req
618. And whispers.

619. He is Lucifer.
You know it.Copy !req
620. - The twins know it too. -Slander thy brethren
no more. -It is they! -From my sight!Copy !req

I'll not have her in this house!
She is no witch, Katherine.Copy !req
630. What is the cause, daughter?
Tell thy Mother!Copy !req
631. - I cannot know for certain.

632. I cannot look at her.
Aye, but ye shall.

I'd have danced with him myself.Copy !req
658. I'll break thee out upon the dawn
and we'll set back to the plantation.Copy !req
659. Think on thy sins.Copy !req
