43966''What''s wrang wi''the boy?''
43966''What,''( says the Lass)''am I a child yet?''
43966As the phantom carriage plunged nearer, the skipper, regaining some little of his courage, ran forwards, hailing in sailor fashion--"Where bound?
43966As to Jennet, the goodman''s daughter, he cryes to her,"Jennet Campbel, Jennet Campbel, wilt thou cast me thy belt?"
43966But did I ever say that if you would come to Innerwick and employ me that I would go all the way to Dumfries upon that errand?
43966But tell me, Coul, is it not as easy for you to write your story as it is to tell it, or to ride on-- what- is- it- you- call- him?
43966Coming up with him again, who halted all the time I sought my staff, I asked once more"Who he was?"
43966He asked me if I had considered the matter he had recommended?
43966How could I vindicate myself?
43966I enquired,"If he was the Laird of Coul, what brought him hither?"
43966I know, said he, that this is a mere evasion; but tell me if your neighbour, the laird of Thurston, will do it?
43966I then sat up in bed and called out,"Who''s there?
43966I''m gaun to send''t t''ye i''the morning, ye''re a gude neebor to me: an''hear''st thou me?
43966Quoth she,"what a widdy would thou do with my belt?"
43966Sayes she to the Minister''s wife,"Shall I do it?"
43966She asks,''How could it then be that her Bible was covered over with bloud?''
43966The Devil said to him,"Say you that?
43966The Laird had plenty, had neither wife nor a wean, sae wha cud greet?
43966The ghostly call of the night,"How long?"
43966The goodman and his wife became alarmed, while the lads and lassies ran madly about interrogating one another with''Where''s granny?''
43966The hare had observed him, and at once inquired if he would shoot his own mother?
43966They wakened him, and then he, hearing it say"Thou shalt be troubled till Tuesday,"asked,"Who gave thee a commission?"
43966Wad ye be sae good as turn the lade o''your jaw- hole anither way, as a''your foul water rins directly in at my door?
43966What made you turn half- road?''
43966What then are your demands upon me?
43966_ Ogilvie_--Pray, Coul, who informed you that I talked at that rate?
43966_ Ogilvie_--So it seems when Andrew Johnstoun inclines to ride you must serve him for a horse, as he now does you?
43966_ Ogilvie_--Well, then, what sort of body is it that you appear in, and what sort of a horse is it that you ride on that appears so full of mettle?
43966_ Q._ Alexander, where learned you that art?
43966_ Q._ But are there any alyve that was at your brothering?
43966_ Q._ But how could the silver tumbler be brought back and put in a fast- locked room?

43966_ Q._ How came the cloaths back?
43966_ Q._ How did you bring them back?
43966_ Q._ How did you make use of the herbs that you might know where they were?
43966_ Q._ What are the herbs which had that effect upon your sleep?
43966_ Q._ What are they?
43966_ Q._ Why did you not bring back all the aprons, for there is one of them awanting yet?
43966_ Q._ Why did you not bring back the mattock and other things?
43966_ Q._ Why did you not bring back the silver spoon that was lost?
43966_ Q._ Why did you not tell of the people who took away these cloaths, seeing thieves ought to be discovered for the good of the country?
43966and whar wur they gaun?
43966and where from?"
43966and"What was his business with me?"
43966how should I prove that ever you had spoken with me?

18253To whom this Examinate said, What are they doing?
18253What can be more atrocious than the whole story, which is yet but the common story of witch confessions?
18253What can exceed the force and graphic truth, the searching wit and sarcasm, of the picture he sketches in 1605?
18253What is the name?
18253What is there, indeed, unlike truth in that wonderful fiction?]
18253What makest thou upon my ground?
18253What were the names of any of them?

18253to whom this Examinate said, What canst thou do at him?
18253what art thou?
18253where, and by what art learn''d, What spells, what charms or invocations?
18253whereunto the said Spirit said; they are making three Pictures: whereupon she asked whose pictures they were?
18253why should the envious world Throw all their scandalous malice upon me?
39176Ah, who will understand him,she said;"who will comfort him when I am gone?
39176And can not you turn to God?
39176And can you bear to have your name sullied by this alliance with the wicked? 39176 And can you part with life thus triumphantly?"
39176And have you then suffered so much?
39176And is her word to be taken against the testimony of my whole life? 39176 And the picture,"said Edith;"why did he not claim it, and take it with him, to console him, as far as it could, for the loss of his beautiful bride?"
39176And where,continued he,"is our young friend the student?
39176And who told you I was so great a sinner?
39176But what can we live for, if not for love?
39176But where is she, who, at this calm hour, Watched his coming to see? 39176 Do you remember the fever you had soon after?
39176Edith, my child,said her father,"what has happened?"
39176Edith,he said at last, straining both her hands in his,"have you been able to think how cruel this death may be?
39176Have I deceived myself?
39176Have you forgotten my father?
39176Is she now living?
39176Is there any cause in nature that makes these hard hearts?
39176Is this a tale? 39176 It is almost evening,"he said;"shall we not have prayers?"
39176My dear Phoebe, do you remember the day when your grandmother died? 39176 O, my dear mistress, how?"
39176Was it not too sad, that she should meet that dreadful fate just as her lover returned, and she was going to be so happy?
39176What became of her lover?
39176What have you done, that God should grant you the happiness to weep?
39176Will they not say, and justly,''Go back to your plough; it is your destiny and proper vocation to labor?''
39176After a pause, Edith said,"Alas, there is no hope of escape: and why do you fold my hair so carefully?
39176Ah, how can those who love be sufficiently grateful to God?
39176Ah, when the frame round which in love we cling, Is chilled by death, does mutual service fail?
39176Ah, who could live without love?"
39176And was she indeed the same person?
39176And you, Phoebe, you have loved me, have you not?"
39176Are intercessions of the fervent tongue A waste of hope?"
39176But why did she turn aside when they met?
39176But will he remember me?"
39176Can he give me back the innocence and peace of my cottage home in the green lanes of England, or the blessing of my poor old father?"
39176Can he lift the leaden covering from the conscience?
39176Can such revenge dwell in so young a heart?"
39176Can you bear to think of it?"
39176Could I esteem and honor you as I do, were you what you call yourself?
39176Do you not know that God sees you and hears you, and that he will punish you for it?
39176Have you forgotten how long, how truly, how fervently, I have loved you?
39176Have you fortitude?
39176He whom circumstance has invested at the moment with power?
39176How did she die?
39176How long, think you, before they will be like mine?
39176Is tender pity then of no avail?
39176Might I dare to hope that you would forgive, that you would pardon the poor, unknown, homeless scholar, that he has dared to love you?"
39176O, my poor Phoebe, how can you be so wicked as to tell this dreadful lie?
39176Of what avail has been a life of self- denial, of benevolence?
39176Of what avail that I have striven to enlighten my own mind and to do good to others?
39176Shall I appear as a beggar, or a peasant, to beg the trifling pittance of a book?"
39176Shall I go again to my good friend at C----?
39176She took her hand tenderly in hers, and whispered,"Can not you put your trust in God?"
39176Slept?
39176The young girl said,''Why do you despair now, my lady?
39176Then she looked at the sleeping child:"Can the lamb dwell with the tiger, or the dove nestle with the hawk?
39176Those who die as criminals are believed guilty of crimes; and can you consent to be remembered as the associate of evil spirits?"
39176Was it only impatience at my lot which destined me to inexorable poverty?"
39176What book shall be our evening reading?
39176What could have been Seymore''s emotions when the cloud had vanished, and he stood in the clear sunshine of reason?
39176What do you know of sorrow?
39176What have they promised you for bringing this trouble on me?"
39176What more do we want?
39176What was her fate?"
39176When the deacon visited her in the morning, she said, with much warmth,"Have the days of Queen Mary come back?
39176Where did she live?
39176Where now the solemn shade, Verdure and gloom, where many branches meet; So grateful, when the noon of summer made The valleys sick with heat?
39176Who first spoke to you about it?
39176Who is to judge what opinions are to be tolerated?
39176Who was she?
39176Who would die and be wholly forgotten?
39176Why not apply to him again?"
39176Will it be always thus?
39176am I losing my memory, my mind?"
39176and do you counsel this?"
39176and is it for that you have brought on me this terrible evil?
39176and is this to be the close of all?"
39176and what does he know of the heart- broken?
39176said Edith,--"how he lived among you?
39176said Edith;"can not you pray?
39176tell me: are you angry that I punished you?
39176thought he,"is this madness?
39176thought she;"will he think of me in''widowhood of heart?''"
39176what have ye looked on since last we met?"
39176what was her fate?
39176where did she live?
32176And why so?
32176But how by descent?
32176But howe were they soe?
32176Do you bid me farewel?
32176Her days were gane,said Elva;"and where were the daughters?"
32176How many hast thou killed for her?
32176In what place?
32176Sancta Marie,says he,"Bessie, quhy makis thow sa grit dule and sair greting for ony wardlie thing?"
32176Shall I do it?
32176What did she bid thee do?
32176What more than Edward?
32176What more?
32176What remedy now?
32176What remedy?
32176What were their names?
32176Where be they?
32176Where dwelt the man and the child?
32176Who are they?
32176Would ye see me?
32176''What is your Name, I pray you?''
32176''_[ 8] Fountainhall says that she was convict and burnt; but is this not a mistake?
32176A young Gentleman, Brother to the Lady, seeing him, switcht him about the ears, saying,''You Warlok Cairle, what have you to do here?''
32176Ah, Master Tom, did you then know so much of prayer and the inclining of the counsels of God?
32176And Isobell Straquhan, too, had she not powers banned even in the blessing?
32176And among the rest Jennet Device,( was she our old acquaintance of perjured memory?)
32176And can not a Palsy shake such a loose Leg as that?
32176And did not Elizabeth Eastcheap see her knee, which looked as if it had been pricked in nine places with a thorn?
32176And did not Joan Williford''s imp tell her that"though the Boate went chearfully oute it should not come so chearfully home?"
32176And further, that while the needle was in her shoulder, as aforesaid, she said,''Am not I ane honest woman now?''"
32176And had he not cause?
32176And had not the devil once, when she was a young lassie, kissed her, and given her a new name?
32176And if all that was not done by devilish art and craft, how was it done?
32176And if all this was not proof against Marion Cumlaquoy, what would the Orkney courts hold as proof?
32176And wherein differs thy Leapings from the Hoppings of a Frog, or Bouncings of a Goat, or Friskings of a Dog, or Gesticulations of a Monkey?

32176Can''st thou Dance no better?
32176Coming back to Anne West''s, he found her standing at her door in terrible undress, and to his complaint of why did she send her imps to molest him?
32176Did experience ever open their eyes or shake their faith?
32176Did she not reject him when left a widow, young and beautiful as but few were to be found in all the Scottish land?
32176Do you say this is the day I must scratch the young Witch?
32176Dost thou not twirl like a Calf that hath the Turn, and twitch up thy Houghs just like a Spring- hault Tit?"
32176For what could they be but the malice of the devil sent by old Andrew in revenge?

32176Good Spirit--"But why did Bull bewitche him?"
32176He then reproached her, saying,"How could she bid him pray for her, since she could not pray for herself?"
32176Her husband, she had said, was embarrassed with this big black horse, and asked what he should do with it?
32176Here was another child of God grievously mishandled; and what might not be done to the servants of the devil who had so evilly intreated him?
32176Hob listened to her railings patiently, till commanded by the bailie to speak, when says he,"How came she then to know that I had called her a witch?
32176How should he if no man was to kill him?
32176If such things as these could be done in the light of the sun, why, should not Margaret Nin- Gilbert have supernatural power?
32176If the devil could touch a Lord''s son, who was safe?
32176Immediately after prayer was ended, a counterfeit voice cried out,"Would you know the witches of Glenluce?

32176Says the other,''Are there any other in Glasgow of that name?''
32176She said that about a year and a half ago, she being in great poverty, was induced by one Catherine Green( her husband''s sister?)
32176She was swum and she floated; whereat a gentleman asked her"how it was possible that she could be so impudent as not to confesse herselfe?"
32176So was not Mary Johnson an undoubted witch with all this testimony against her?
32176Subtract from this account the possible and the certain-- the possible frauds and the certain lies-- and what is left?
32176Suddenly the child cried out,"Did you ever see one more like a Witch than she is?"
32176The chief witness against her was her little daughter- in- law( step- child?)
32176The next day he came with Lierd, and asked"why she was so snappish yesterday?"
32176The old woman turning against the Lady, said, half sorrowfully,"Madam, why do you use me thus?
32176The witch was hanged: could they do less in such a clear case as this?
32176Then came in the man''s natural voice, addressing the spirit:"Come, come, prithee tell me why did they bewitch me?"
32176There was poor Patrick Lowrie, fylit July 23, 1605--what had he done?

42318Of what must I take care?
42318What were they eating and drinking?
42318When did I hurt thee?
42318Where did she_ formerly_ live?
42318Where?
42318Will you try that over again?
42318''But how does friction produce heat in this case?''
42318''But it flows from the Gulf of Mexico?''
42318''But the Gulf Stream flows north; how, then, can the icebergs accumulate at its source?''
42318''Is she happy?''
42318''Is she in fault, or others?''
42318''That,''said I,''is false;''but not having heard from the family for several years, I asked again,''How many_ did_ she have?''
42318''Then why do n''t you go on?''
42318''What are you going to do with me?''
42318''What for?''
42318''What is the name of the living one?''

42318And again, what of that spicy colloquy in which Planchette writes the words"devil,""devil''s brother,""stir fires,""broil you,"etc.?
42318And how?
42318Are not many of the usages and familiar forms of speech of modern Christendom a return to old heathenism?
42318Are these the fruits of the misunderstood doctrine of total depravity?]
42318Are they not what St. Augustine calls a repudiation of the Christian faith?
42318At last I asked,''How many brothers has she?''
42318At this point she inquired:"Who is this that is giving this caution?"
42318But Satan can work only through human agents; and who were his instruments for the affliction of these children?
42318But is it a fact, then, that the great enemy whom Christ so constantly spoke of is dead?
42318But what is this doctrine?
42318But why should the devil connect himself with Planchette?...
42318Can you cite me some familiar fact to prove that man is actually surrounded and pervaded by a sphere such as you describe?
42318Curious, is it not?
42318DR. DODDRIDGE''S DREAM[ In concluding these Psychological discussions, what is there more appropriate than the following?
42318Do they believe they are united by intimate bonds with all Christ''s followers?
42318For example, she on one occasion said to it:"Planchette, where did you get your education?"
42318For illustration, suppose a man asserts at noonday that there is no sun, does he teach you there is no sun?
42318Green?''
42318Has it not looked with a jealous eye upon the progress of science generally?
42318He has been appointed to serve the world, and the world does not regard him; the negroes, and( who could believe it?)
42318He says:"How, then, shall we account for the writing which is performed without any direct volition?
42318How does that consideration stand?
42318How does that sound to you, my ingenious friend?
42318How so?
42318I then said:''Who are you?''
42318If I am not an intelligence, in the name of common sense what am I?
42318If a table may be made to spin around the room, why may not a wheel be made to turn as well?"
42318If it be called only a dream, or, even a delusion, what harm can come of it?
42318If thou believest the things which thou sayest to be true, why dost thou weep and lament and make a pageantry and a mock of thy singing?
42318If thou believest them_ not_ to be true, why dost thou play the hypocrite so much as to sing?"
42318In Planchette, public journalists and pamphleteers seem to have caught the"What is it?"
42318In justice to my little friend, however, I must not omit to state that in respect to questions as to the kind of weather we shall have on the morrow?
42318Is it anything more than the sheerest assumption?
42318Is it not in keeping with Scripture teachings, as now interpreted?
42318May I not, then, expect from_ you_ a solution of the mysteries which have thus far enveloped you?
42318May it not be spiritual food, of which their mother, the Church, has abundance, which she has neglected to set before them?
42318My friend C. here asked:"Ought she to go to Kentucky and attend to the matter?"
42318My question was,_ Can you tell me anything about my nephew?_''_ Mr.
42318Nevertheless, I am curious to know how you justify yourself in this disparaging remark on the theology and religion of the day?
42318Pray, how do you account for that fact?
42318She said to him:"For a further test, will you be kind enough to tell me where I last saw you?"
42318St. Chrysostom, speaking of funeral services, quotes passages from the psalms and hymns that were in common use, thus:"What mean our psalms and hymns?
42318Such were the answers to the questions:"How many brothers_ did_ she[ Mary C----] have?"
42318Such, for instance, is the answer"Nobody knows,"to the question"Where is Mary C----?"
42318Thinkest thou that I can not now pray to my Father, and he will give me more than twelve legions of angels?"
42318Well, by what description of intelligence?
42318Well, then, what is the way to deal with spiritualism?
42318What is this communion which death can not prevent, and which with prayer can impart consolation?
42318When this theory is offered in seriousness as a final solution of the mystery in question, we are tempted to ask, Who is electricity?
42318Where is the shadow of proof?
42318Why should we not hasten and run after them that we too may see our fatherland?

42318_ I._ And what of the changed aspects of science that is to grow out of this alleged peculiar Divine manifestation?

42318_ I._ Pray tell us what you mean by the dream- region that lies between the two worlds?

42318and is this the road our ancestors had to travel in their pilgrimage in quest of freedom and Christianity?

28513_ N._ and said,_ Do you not see her?
28513are you not ashamed, a Woman of your Profession, to afflict a poor Creature so?
28513keeps us from such a Mishap; yet where have we an_ Absolute Promise_, that we shall every one always be kept from it?
28513or by any unadvisableness contribute unto the Widening of our Breaches?
28513or that he that governs the Earth hateth Right?
28513whether the great Black Man?
28513who do you think is their Master?
8743Child of my heart,cried I,"how camest thou by this blessing from God?"
8743Did the parson think that he was as free with his money as I seemed to be with my ink? 8743 God bless thee,"said I,"worthy friend, for sowing my field; how shall I reward thee?"
8743Well,quoth I,"what hast thou got, my child?"
8743What sayest thou now?
8743( But, blessed God, how could I do otherwise than believe the judge, who had been there?
8743And when I asked her why not?
8743And when I replied,"How does your Lordship know that the witch raised such an outcry against you?"
8743Are storms, then, so rare at this season of the year, that none save the foul fiend can cause them?
8743At these words my own heart was melted; and when she ceased from speaking, I asked,"What art thou doing, my child?"
8743Be that as it may;_ Summa_: I was not a little shocked at what he told me, and asked him what he now thought of the Sheriff?
8743Before long my poor child gave a loud cry, and cast herself upon the bench, weeping and wailing,"What has happened, what has happened?"
8743But he answered, saying, Why had I come with her?
8743But how could I sleep when she could not?
8743But old Paasch stood and shook his head; nevertheless when my child said,"Paasch, wherefore dost thou shake thy head?"
8743But say, dear reader, what was I to do?
8743But she still looked him fixedly in the face, and cried aloud in Latin,"_ Innocentia, quid est innocentia?
8743But the Sheriff answered,"Not so; should you not understand it all when you think upon the eels?"
8743But where have ye read that any one was saved who had wantonly taken her own life and that of her father?
8743But, dear reader, how could I then have been able to recite Latin hymns, even had I known any?
8743Consul_ again shuddered, so that his beard wagged, and said,"What, dost thou indeed know Latin?
8743Consul_ held a letter in his hand, and, after spitting thrice, he began thus:"Wilt thou still deny, thou stubborn witch?
8743Consul_ whether every dying person, even a condemned criminal, had power to leave his goods and chattels to whomsoever he would?
8743Did not I forbid thee to go up the mountain by night?
8743Did not our Lord Christ pardon Mary Magdalene, who lived in open whoredom?
8743Et ego peccarem cum quavis detestatione carnis, et non semel, sed iterum atque iterum sine reversione usque ad mortem?
8743For the sake of God and thy salvation, confess, for if thou knowest thyself to be innocent, how, then, canst thou think that thou wilt be burnt?"
8743Have I deserved this at your hands?
8743He heaved a deep sigh, and said,"Mary, Mary, is it thus I must meet thee again?"
8743He meant whether she had ever played the wanton with Satan, and known him carnally?
8743Hereupon I answered that I had not indeed read any such book( for say, who can read all that fools write?
8743Hereupon he turned to the Sheriff, and cried, angrily,"Why, in the name of all the ten devils, is it thus your lordship keeps the constable in order?
8743Hereupon my daughter jumped up and answered with tears,"Alas, old Ilse, why wilt thou leave us, for thy mother is with thy brother?
8743Hereupon she looked towards me, and said,"Father, shall I tell?"
8743How and when, then, had he come by his death?
8743How came so much amber on the Streckelberg?
8743How many devils had she?
8743How, for instance, could this account for the deeply demoniacal nature of old Lizzie Kolken as exhibited in the following pages?
8743How, then, could she have wished to do her such grievous harm?
8743I called to her from my bed,"Dear child, wilt thou, then, never cease?
8743I drew near to her and pulled the apron from her face, saying,"Wilt thou, then, again kill me with grief?"
8743I had often asked,"Whence comes all this blessed bread?
8743I motioned him to stop, and asked why he thus ran from me, his confessor?
8743I saw this for a while with many sighs, but spake not a word( for, dear reader, what could I say?)
8743I stepped up to him and asked what had come to the people?
8743I still did as though I had seen nought, and said,"Wherefore, dear child, dost thou suffer such torment?"
8743I then implored him to tell me the truth, and what horrid suspicion had arisen against me in the parish?
8743In what shape had he appeared to her?
8743Is it true that Satan appeared to thee on the Streckelberg in the likeness of a hairy giant?"
8743Is it true that thou hadst a spirit called_ Disidaemonia_, who re- baptized thee and carnally knew thee?
8743Is it true that thou hast done all manner of mischief to the cattle?
8743Is it true that thou hast fallen off from the living God and given thyself up to Satan?
8743Is this no witches''salve, eh?
8743Must she then do his cattle a mischief?
8743My poor child turned pale as a corpse, and asked in amaze what had come to her?
8743Nevertheless, they were quiet enough as we drove past, albeit some few cried,"How can it be, how can it be?"
8743Now that they were alone together, what did she want of him?
8743Now, dear reader, what could I say, save my hearty good- will?
8743Of what use had all this witchcraft been to him?
8743Oh, Lord Jesu, who hast said,''What man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone?''
8743Peter?"
8743Quid?
8743Quomodo clementissimus Deus haec sceleratissima ignoscere posset?
8743Reverend Abraham, must I teach you Scripture?
8743Say, reverend Abraham, which is the greater sin, to commit whoredom, or to take the lives of two persons?"
8743See here, is this no witches''salve, which the constable fetched out of thy coffer last night?
8743Shall not we then drink of the cup which our Heavenly Father hath prepared for us?"
8743She asked,"Who was to make up their graves and plant flowers on them?
8743She must have had sponsors; who were they?
8743So she could not bewitch?
8743Some cried out,"Is that the witch?"
8743Speak, then; alas, will none speak?"
8743The dear young lord forthwith did as I would have him, and only asked the people whether they now held my child to be perfectly innocent?
8743Then it would be as strange a question, why Katie Berow her little pig had died?
8743Then she had not bewitched them?
8743Then truly did my poor mouth so fill with water that I was forced to bow my head and let it run upon the earth before I could ask,"Who art thou?
8743This angered me sore, and I said to her,"Why wast thou not at church?
8743This message gave me good courage, and I asked the fellow whether he also had come to bear witness against my poor child?
8743Thou liest; or wilt thou even yet deny that thou didst bewitch old Paasch his little girl with a white roll?
8743What cattle had she cured?
8743What chaste maiden would ever bathe in the sea?
8743What didst thou want on the mountain by night?"
8743What had she done there?
8743What name had he given her?
8743What think you this devil''s whore then did?
8743What was this devil called?
8743What were the names of these merchants?
8743What, then, befell Kit Zuter his spotted cow, that it suddenly died in her presence?
8743What, then, had she done besides?
8743When I saw this, and heard how things really stood with her, I was affrighted beyond measure, and cried,"Mary, my child, what art thou doing?"
8743When did you hear any testimony from me against this virtuous maiden?
8743When had she gone up the Streckelberg; by day or by night?
8743When he saw my daughter he turned his horse round, chucked her under the chin, and graciously asked her who she was, and whence she came?
8743Where didst thou learn the Latin?"
8743Where is his Princely Highness at this time?
8743Wherefore she took me aside: What was to be done?
8743Whether Satan had re- baptized her, and where?
8743Whether any of the neighbors had been by when she was re- baptized, and which of them?
8743Whether she could bewitch?
8743Whether she could bewitch?
8743Whether she could charm?
8743Whether she did not know the salve which had been found in_ Rea_ her coffer?
8743Whether she had anything further to say?
8743Whether she had ever been on the Blocksberg?
8743Whether she had ever called upon the devil there?
8743Whether she had ever conceived by Satan, and given birth to a changeling, and of what shape?
8743Whether she had ever heard Satan answer her?
8743Whether she had ever heard her fly up the chimney?
8743Whether she had ever lived with the devil?
8743Whether she had found the devil hot or cold?
8743Whether she had never heard_ Rea_ cast a spell or wish harm to this or that person?
8743Whether she had perceived that_ Rea_ had a familiar spirit, and in what shape?
8743Whether she never at mornings had missed her broom or pitch- fork?
8743Whether the foul fiend had given her any sign or mark about her body, and in what part thereof?
8743Whether the woodpecker was not the devil himself, who had carried off old Seden?
8743Whether, peradventure, he also believed that my daughter had bewitched her little god- child?
8743Whether, then, she still maintained that she knew nothing of the devil?
8743Whether, then, the devil had appeared to her there, uncalled?
8743Who taught her to do so?
8743Who will now run down into the village, and cut off the mane and tail of my dead cow which lies out behind on the common?"
8743Why could she afterwards cure them no more?
8743Why did she blush again?
8743Why did she hesitate?
8743Why had we said nothing of such a godsend?
8743Why, then, had she been so kind to her formerly, and kept her like a sister through the worst of the famine?
8743Why, then, if she were innocent, had she promised old Katie another little pig, when her sow should litter?
8743Woe is me, ruthless father, what have I done?
8743_ Ego_:"Will you then promise me this in truth?"
8743_ Summa_, I blessed myself from this young lord; but what could I do?
8743and as he did not know thereof, the Duke asked, whether she knew Latin?
8743and what gift had they given her as christening money?
8743and when I answered him,"To take the lives of two persons,"he went on,"Well, then, is not that what your stubborn child is about to do?
8743and whence comest thou?
8743and whether she would not change her mind on the matter and have him now, or else come into service with him( the Sheriff) himself?
8743but my poor daughter who brewed the storm;--for, beloved reader, what could it have profited her, even if she had known the black art?
8743has she confessed?''
8743he continued;"wilt thou still deny thy great wickedness?
8743how couldst thou hear my voice speaking down by the sea, being thyself in the forest upon the mountain?
8743is it all out?
8743sayest thou this of thyself, or have others bidden thee?"
8743seeing that I wept for very joy, as did my child, and I answered, how should it not be my will, seeing that it was the will of God?
8743shall I not willingly bear thee, thou sweet cross of my bridegroom, of my brother?"
8743thou old witch, and who has told thee that I wish to go into service to get a curch on my head?
8743what has the devil just thrown into her lap?"
8743what is it ails you, sweet maid?
8743whereupon she covered her face with her hands, and moaned,"Alas, father, wherefore was I not burned here?
8743wretched man that I am, how shall I understand all the benefits and mercies which the Lord bestowed upon me the very next day?
36312''Hath she brought the book to you( the accusing girls)?'' 36312 ''How can you say you know nothing, when you see these tormented and accuse you?''
36312''Is this folly to see these so hurt?'' 36312 ''Of what sin?''
36312''Sarah Good, do you not see now what you have done? 36312 ''Sarah Good, what evil spirit have you familiarity with?''
36312''Well, sir, would you have me confess what I never knew?'' 36312 ''What did you think of the actions of others before your sisters came out?
36312''What do you say to this?'' 36312 ''What do you say; are you guilty?''
36312''What do you think ails them?'' 36312 ''What have you done to these children?''
36312''What_ creature_ do you employ, then?'' 36312 ''Why did you go away muttering from Mr. Parris''s house?''
36312''Why, do you not think it is witchcraft?'' 36312 Can you not,"we asked,"find him through her?"
36312How did you afflict folks? 36312 I do not hurt poor children?
36312O, star- eyedFancy,"hast thou wandered there, To waft us back the message of"--_credulity_?
36312Sarah Good being then asked, if that_ she_ did not hurt them, who did it? 36312 She_ pretended_ that the evil[?]
36312TheWhy have you done it?"
36312Were you to serve the devil ten years? 36312 What does she eat or drink?"
36312Who is it then?
36312Who made you a witch? 36312 Why did you say the magistrates''and ministers''eyes were blinded,"and"you would open them?
36312Why did you say you would show us? 36312 Why make an alternative?
36312_ Q._ At first beginning with them, what then appeared to you? 36312 _ Q._ But what did they say unto you?
36312_ Q._ Did he ask you no more but the first time to serve him? 36312 _ Q._ Did you ever go with these women?

36312_ Q._ What do you say to this you are charged with? 36312 _ Q._ What familiarity have you with the devil, or what is it that you converse withal?
36312_ Q._ What hath Osburn got to go with her? 36312 _ Q._ What made you hold your arm when you were searched?
36312_ Q._ What other creatures have you seen? 36312 _ Q._ What other likenesses besides a man hath appeared unto you?
36312_ Q._ What? 36312 _ Q._ When did he say you must meet together?
36312_ Q._ Who was that appeared to Hubbard as she was going from Proctor''s? 36312 _ Q._ With what shape, or what is_ he_ like that hurts them?
36312_ Q._ Would they have had you hurt the children last night? 36312 _ Q._''What did it propound to you?''
36312_ Q._''What lying spirit is this? 36312 _ Q._''What lying spirit was it, then?''
36312_ Tituba, the Indian woman, examined March 1, 1692.__ Q._ Why do you hurt these poor children?
36312''Are you certain this is the woman?''
36312''Are you not willing to tell the truth?''
36312''Do you think they are bewitched?''
36312''Doth this woman hurt you?''
36312''Have you made no contract with the devil?''
36312''Have you made no contract with the devil?''
36312''How came they thus tormented?''
36312''How comes your appearance just now to hurt these?''
36312''How do I know?''
36312''Then,''said I,''how can all these things be done by him?''
36312''What God do you serve?''
36312''What commandment is it?''
36312''What do you laugh at?''
36312''What is it you say when you go muttering away from persons''houses?''
36312''What psalm?''
36312''Who do you employ, then, to do it?''
36312''Who do you employ, then?''
36312''Who do you serve?''
36312''Who do you think is their master?''
36312''Who was it, then, that tormented the children?''
36312''Why do you hurt these children?''
36312''Why, who was it?''

36312:"What does she eat or drink?
36312A trifle, was that?
36312And especially who"improved her tongue to express what was never in her mind"?
36312And how was it with the others?
36312And what is involved in that?
36312And when was he first seen?
36312And which boy did he see?
36312And who was_ the black man_?
36312And whose emotions mantled her face with smiles in the stern and frowning presence of"authority"?

36312But is there probability either that he dictated any part of her testimony, or that she fabricated anything?
36312But seemingly the court could not wait for an answer, because, in the same breath, it asked, What did your visitant tell you?
36312But the magistrate seemingly doubted its truth or its sufficiency, for he next asked,--"_ Q._ Why have you done it?
36312But the_ cui bono_, the what good?
36312But what did her master require her to"stand to"?
36312But what did she say by way of confessing or accusing?
36312But which, among the human faculties, did that delusion spell- bind, stultify, and make sanguinary?
36312But who was genuine author of playful proceedings at a time when the business was so grave and solemn?
36312But why she?
36312But why to Thomas Putnam''s?
36312But with what eyes?
36312By whom was it seen?
36312Can any one doubt that she conceived herself to be speaking to the same being, though in dog form, that she had yielded to before in form like a man?
36312Can reflection find her competent to all that was ascribed to her?
36312Community called such matters witchcrafts, and why should not these children do the same?
36312Confessed to what?
36312Could Ann Foster''s gray- haired man have been Tituba''s white- haired visitant-- the originator and enactor of Salem witchcraft?
36312Could firm, true men, holding then prevalent beliefs, have done less?
36312Dadie thought I spoke, and said,''What''m?''
36312Did he believe that_ demons_ acted within her, held her back, and made her something like three times heavier than she normally was?
36312Did he offer you any paper?
36312Did he say you must write anything?
36312Did he see, hear, and feel all that he testifies to?
36312Did he tell you who they were?
36312Did such observable effects occur as Mather described?
36312Did supernal prescience select and post agents peculiarly fitted to perform the witchcraft tragedy?
36312Did the historian himself who quoted those words and let them appear to be accurately descriptive of facts, believe that they were such?
36312Did they, or did other agencies, produce the mysterious disorders which seemed to devil- dreading beholders like diabolical obsessions?
36312Did you think it was witchcraft?''
36312Do such feats bespeak their origin in_ delirium tremens_?
36312Do you get those cats, or other things, to do it for you?
36312Does he believe that such things were actually performed either by or through her?
36312Does he believe that such were the literal facts even in appearance?
36312Does the hugeness which debars them from entering contracted domiciles to- day prove their existence to be but fabulous?
36312Doth the devil tell you that he hurts them?
36312Doth the devil tell you that he hurts them?"
36312Elizabeth Knap''s visitant-- the one to whom she said,"What cheer, old man?"
36312Especially do they ever spontaneously avow that the devil or any_ evil spirit_ is helping them?

36312For,--"_ Q._ What did you say to him, then, after that?
36312From whom came the things put forth through her which"she knew nothing of"?
36312From whom came the tones, if not the words, of languages which this possessed girl had never learned?
36312Had he met Tituba?
36312Had it less sagacity than his own?
36312Had she divulged her knowledge, what heed would have been given to the word of the ignorant slave?
36312Had she made a_ covenant_ with the devil, or any devotee of his?
36312Has he left record of a series of facts, or only of fictions which he set forth as facts?
36312Has the Great Permitter of the many sufferings which war has engendered been"shockingly wicked"?
36312Hath the devil ever deceived you and been false to you?''
36312He said,''Miss Perkins, can I go out and see who''s there?''
36312He was stating facts, which, in his apprehension, were harmless, and why should he not let them out?
36312Her patients promiscuously?
36312His only question was, did the thing occur?
36312How can the occurrence of such facts be explained, or rather_ who_ produced them?
36312How could he?
36312How did the historian account for such-- for those seeming"more than natural"?
36312How did you set your hand to it?
36312How else can thought inhere?"
36312How far have you complied with Satan whereby he takes this advantage of you?''
36312How far up, down, around, do natural forces and agents extend and operate?
36312How much beneficence did one then need to perform before public sentiment, would reprobate its author?
36312How much did this import?
36312How old are you now?
36312How_ know_ that she or her case was the then all- engrossing topic?
36312How_ know_ that their manner was expressive of any particular topic of conversation?
36312Hutchinson says,"The most remarkable occurrence in the colony in the year 1655[ 1656?]
36312Hutchinson states that Mr. Dane himself"is_ tenderly_ touched in several of the examinations, which"( the tenderness?)
36312I presently asked her, what letter?
36312I said to him,''Can you say your lesson?''
36312If he resembled an Indian, is not the inference very fair that he was an Indian?
36312If there be a fixed limit to nature''s domain, where is it?
36312If we presume( and why may we not?)
36312If_ entranced_, was the girl, then, a voluntary seer and speaker?
36312Indeed, how can any other than perverted vision see harm in the girl''s filial compact?
36312Indeed, who among men could possibly have taught or helped her to prophesy correctly, to hear the far distant, or to embody a spirit child?
36312Is crabbed temper there?
36312Is ignorance of, or is knowledge of, nature''s forces and inhabitants the greater blessing?
36312Is it possible that the mind of man should be capable of such strong prejudices as that a suspicion of fraud should not immediately arise?
36312Is she a witch or a cunning woman?
36312Is slander there?
36312Is that idea conveyed in calling her a successful practitioner?
36312Is there only one kind of mental power throughout the whole animal kingdom, differing only in intensity and range of manifestation?
36312Is this the woman?''
36312Little Sarah was asked,--"How long have you been a witch?
36312May not natural endowments sometimes be ample qualification for admitting the evolvement through one''s form of very great marvels?
36312Modern wisdom(?)
36312Most seriously we ask whether forces which can be and have been measured by palpable scales, are"beyond the legitimate boundaries of human knowledge?"
36312Mrs. Morse''s possession of their secret was so unaccountable that the husband in astonishment asked,"Is she a witch or a cunning woman?"
36312My husband presently said, What?
36312Now, then, there are some persons_ so constituted_ that they perceive these shadows(?)
36312On that Wednesday night"Abigail first became ill.""_ Q._ Where was your master then?
36312Or the second time?
36312Perhaps he did; and yet on what rational grounds could he?
36312She cried out to him,"What cheer, old man?"
36312She had penetration enough to_ conjecture_"( why say_ conjecture_?)
36312Should they be called outgrowths from"fraud and imposture,"as they were by another?
36312Should they be left unadduced and unalluded to, as they were by one elaborate historian?
36312The external or the internal one-- the boy material or the boy spiritual?
36312The girl''s confession?
36312The outer or the inner-- his material or his spiritual ones?
36312The question was repeated thus:"_ Why_ did you never visit these afflicted persons?"
36312The same question, partially, is up to- day-- viz., Can any but willing devotees to Satan be used in the processes of spirit manifestations?
36312The_ confessions_(?)
36312The_ only_ charge_ proved_?
36312Then what did you answer him?
36312Then why write?
36312Therefore our fathers would with conscious propriety ask any one whom they supposed to be under"an evil hand,""Who hurts you?"
36312This begs the primal question, viz.,_ Did_ he undertake to torment them?
36312This weakness(?)
36312To whom can they refer, if not to spirits of some grade?
36312Was clear statement of what its senses had witnessed evidence of its credulity?
36312Was he a faithful and true witness, or not?
36312Was it causing iron to swim?
36312Was it foolish in him to state the truth?
36312Was it only her_ pretense_?
36312Was it so?
36312Was its belief in the testimony of its own senses a proof of its_ credulity_?
36312Was she so generous as to give credit to another, and that other an"evil spirit,"for help which she did not receive?
36312Was that a condition of things in which the younger two would join the elder in sly additions to the distress around them?
36312Was that a_ deluded_ court, representative of a_ deluded_ people, which condemned Margaret Jones to"hang high on the gallows- tree"?
36312Was that a_ playful_ moment?
36312Was the former generation less truthful than his own?
36312Was their perception of him nothing more than the product of the imagination of the witnesses?
36312Was there any_ fraud_?
36312Was there anywhere a prior institution of that kind?
36312Were Braybrook''s statements true as to the main fact?
36312Were all the declarations false?
36312Were all those youthful females shockingly wicked?
36312Were horses, vehicles, and drivers, or were even saddle- horses, regularly at the command of such girls for conveyance to and from such meetings?
36312Were its senses less reliable?
36312Were the external senses of a whole community so disordered that the character and dimensions of sensible acts were grossly misapprehended?
36312Were these doings by Mather foolish and useless?
36312What amount of success in alleviating the sufferings that flesh is heir to would invoke public vengeance?
36312What beatings might she not well fear if she confessed to any dealings with invisible beings?
36312What did he say you must do?
36312What did he tell you?"
36312What do you ride upon?
36312What had you there?
36312What harm have they done unto you?
36312What if it was?
36312What is fit treatment of such facts and testimony from such a source?
36312What is_ he_ like?
36312What miracle did he concede that the devil can work?
36312What more common than for attendants to offer and urge upon a suffering and agonized person any stimulant or cordial at hand?
36312What next?
36312What persons would be summoned into court to testify concerning her when such was the charge?
36312What qualities give better_ a priori_ promise of correct testimony than do sincerity and a sound understanding?
36312What started, and extended, and intensified that tongue if it did wag?
36312What then?
36312What then?
36312What then?
36312What though all spectators failed to see the Indian?
36312What though the agitation of Christendom brings its latent iniquities and impurities to the surface?
36312What though the counterparts of publicans, sinners, and harlots float numerously into view?
36312What unseen power?
36312What was it like that got you to do it?
36312What was the character of the Goodwin children themselves?
36312What was their duty?
36312What were the accusations against him?
36312What were those feats?
36312What would you have me do?''
36312What, therefore, must be done?
36312What, therefore, was the historian''s necessity?
36312What_ lies_ were or could be fabricated against such a woman, the nature of which the common sagacity of society there and then would not detect?
36312What_ lies_ which the truthfulness of society there and then would not decline to repeat against her?
36312When I ceased working upon my patient, her husband said,''Do you suppose you can affect_ me_ in the same way?''
36312When her master hath asked her( Tituba?)
36312When she perceived and called out to some personage invisible to her companions, saying,"What cheer, old man?"
36312Whence the excitement itself-- such excitement as could regard an accurate guess as necessarily the offspring of diabolical insight?
36312Whence the impulse?
36312Where are they?
36312Where did they find him?
36312Wherein lurks anything which indicates that the witnesses in this case stated anything that was not substantially true?
36312Which is most dutiful to God and friendly to man?
36312Which is most scientific?
36312Which shall we do?
36312Which?
36312Which?
36312Which?
36312Which?
36312Which?
36312Who and what was he?
36312Who but visible or audible spirits, proving themselves to be such, can give decisive response to that momentous question?
36312Who first appeared to her?
36312Who helped the little clergyman lift and hold the heavy gun?
36312Who knows?
36312Who knows?
36312Who sees either mind, or the force by which an aching toe reports to the brain and excites the sympathy of the whole organism?
36312Who sees electricity, magnetism, gravitation, attraction, cohesion, repulsion?
36312Who was the prime mover?
36312Who was"my Indian man"?
36312Who, next to Powell, among those present at the manifestations, was most likely to have made a covenant with the Evil One?
36312Why afraid of such result?
36312Why call that a_ pretense_, and make her a liar?
36312Why did any intelligent being, whether mortal or spirit, thus woefully invade and disturb the homes of able, honored, worthy Christian men?
36312Why did n''t you take the words of your own witnesses as corroborative of the man''s statement?
36312Why did the people of his time take his life?
36312Why do you not tell us the truth?
36312Why do you thus torment these poor children?''
36312Why not put some confidence in the words of this religiously educated girl?
36312Why say_ pretended_?
36312Why should they lead to, or rather why fix upon, the beloved and venerated Mrs. Nurse?
36312Why was such a one an enterer of complaints against neighbors, whether high or low, good or bad?
36312Why, said she, hadst not thee such a letter from such a man at such a time?
36312Why?
36312Why?
36312With''eagerness of mind''she asked them,''Does she tell you what clothes I have on?''
36312Yes,_ what_ unseen power?
36312Yes; who that baker whose cake raised the devil, and caused apparitions to become exceeding plenty?
36312_ Ans._''What do I know?
36312_ Ans._''Would you have me accuse myself?''

36312and especially why perpetrate such agonizing cruelties upon bright, lovely, and promising children?
36312have they done unto you?"
36312her course of fraud and imposture?
36312her frolic?
36312or of acts called witchcraft of old?
36312or was it such lifting of Margaret Rule as had been sworn to?
36312see the devil?"
6701Ah, what is this I hear,exclaimed the accursed sorceress,"just on my return home?
6701Ah, what will become of me? 6701 And was it indeed true, that absurd fool Dorothea did not choose to be bled?
6701And what did they want with her?
6701But what is the signification of this widespread law of love and hate which rules the universe as far as we know? 6701 But where is the danger?"
6701But,spake Diliana,"is it then possible for man to compel angels?"
6701Child of my heart,cried I,"how cam''st thou by this blessing from God?"
6701Did the parson think that he was as free with his money as I seemed to be with my ink? 6701 God bless thee,"said I,"worthy friend, for sowing my field, how shall I reward thee?"
6701How can I take you?
6701How is it possible? 6701 How now,"cried his Grace;"who the devil hath suffered you, Sidonia, to play the abbess over these virgins?"
6701It is with an angel, not a devil, your daughter is to speak; and surely no evil, then, could happen to our dear and chaste little sister?
6701Keep it to yourself, woman,roared Duke Francis,"and tell us why you burned my father''s letter?"
6701My Lord Duke, will you not step out of the circle?
6701Oh, she would sooner have her tongue cut out than blab a word; but what was the receipt?
6701See you not,he said,"the people are sick?
6701Well,quoth I,"what hast thou got, my child?"
6701What could ail him?
6701What is it to thee, damned priest? 6701 What mean you?"
6701What sayest thou now?
6701What sort is your beer, old dame?
6701What was the stocking for? 6701 What would his dear brother do, now that the proofs were in his hands?"
6701What would that help? 6701 Who is it that you see no more?"
6701Would she not do it for her health''s sake; or, at least, for the sake of peace?
6701Would the knight still strive against God?
6701_ Postscriptum._--Are the winter gloves ready? 6701 ( But, blessed God, how could I do otherwise than believe the judge, who had been there? 6701 ( Now who is to believe that such people can call themselves Christians?) 6701 ( Then I myself-- is it not so? 6701 ),''Ye are a royal priesthood''? 6701 ):''Are not the angels ministering spirits, sent forth for the service of those who are heirs of salvation?'' 6701 13),Art Thou He who should come?"
670113--''What, is it then permitted to the just to deal deceitfully?
6701A second time his Grace asked--"Was it from fear?"
6701After Dorothea had inquired about her sickness, she looked at the cat, and asked wonderingly, what was the meaning of such a strange dress?
6701Ah, why has the Lord God placed such things before our eyes?
6701Ambrosia advanced modestly to the grating, and asked the handsome knight,"What was his pleasure?"
6701And doth not Martinus Lutherus say--''Who loves not wine, women, and song, Remains a fool his whole life long''?
6701And have you all these riches?"
6701And if ye are united, who can withstand you?
6701And shall I sin with so great abhorrence of the flesh, and that not once but again and again without return even until death?
6701And that last night being very sick, she sent for the priest, upon which she heard Anna calling out from the window to the porter,"Will he come?
6701And the angel said,"What will ye?"
6701And what did they give their hard- earned gold for?
6701And what is hate but repulsion or antipathy, whereby we are forced to fly or recoil from it?
6701And what would my Elias do for her?
6701And when I asked her why not?
6701And when I replied,"How does your lordship know that the witch raised such an outcry against you?"
6701And when Sidonia started back alarmed, he continued--"O Diliana, much loved and beautiful maiden, what does my queen here?
6701And when my Brose stepped forward with a profound bow, Ludecke went on--"Was this the case about the dairy- mother?
6701And when my Jobst enters with his sour face, holding his daughter by the hand, the Duke calls out--"Marry, brave vassal, why so sour?
6701And wherefore weep?
6701Anna Apenborg repeated this in the convent, and to Sidonia''s maid, upon which the witch sent for Anna, and asked was the report true?
6701Are storms, then, so rare at this season of the year, that none save the foul fiend can cause them?
6701Are there not rich enough for ye to kill?
6701Are we not strong?
6701Art thou for ever to put off these marriage thoughts?"
6701Art thou not ashamed to accuse thy own kinswoman?
6701Ask the elders here if ever better physic were found than the least grain of dust from the holy Schem Hamphorasch?"
6701At last Bishop Francis spake--"Why then didst thou blow upon the children of Prechln of Buslar, if it were not to bewitch them to death?"
6701At last Diliana exclaimed eagerly,"Ah; can it be possible to speak with the blessed angels, as the evil women speak with the devil?
6701At last he exclaimed,"Good Joel, you are a fanatic, an enthusiast-- surely we know the name of God; or what hinders us from knowing it?"
6701At last he spake--"But if I seize her and burn her, will it be better with our race?
6701At these words my own heart was melted; and when she ceased from speaking, I asked,"What art thou doing, my child?"
6701At this hearing his Grace exclaimed--"Eh, George, where have you got the Malmsey?
6701At this the abbess and the sisterhood listened and stared in wonder, then asked if the dear sister had fallen ill again?
6701At this the virgin took courage, and answered,"Our gracious Prince would know how the evil spirit of my cousin Sidonia can be overcome?"
6701Before long my poor child gave a loud cry, and cast herself upon the bench, weeping and wailing,"What has happened, what has happened?"
6701But Duke Ulrich said,"Marry, dear brothers, what the devil is there to see here?
6701But as to what more she had seen----"_ Hæc_.--"For God''s sake, sister, what more?"
6701But could he hope for this if he were an unfaithful steward of the mysteries of God?
6701But he answered, saying, Why had I come with her?
6701But he answered, she should have no money; why did she not live at her farm- houses?
6701But how could I sleep when she could not?
6701But how to get it?
6701But how would her death help these poor young virgins?
6701But if an old hag like her maid was not safe from the shameless parson, how could she or any of them be safe?
6701But old Paasch stood and shook his head; nevertheless when my child said,"Paasch, wherefore dost thou shake thy head?"
6701But tears here, tears there, what will it help?
6701But the brave Diliana seized hold of the young knight''s sword, crying--"For God''s sake, sir knight, what mean you?
6701But the magister began to demonstrate how unlikely it was that Satan would give advice how to subdue himself;"For how then could his kingdom stand?"
6701But the other seized a stone, and flung it with all his might at the wall, crying out,"Wait, thou shameless witch; doth thy conscience move thee so?"
6701But the sheriff answered,"Not so; should you not understand it all when you think upon the eels?"
6701But the unfortunate maiden no sooner beheld him, than she cried out in the deep bass voice--"David, I must marry; wilt thou be my bridegroom?"
6701But they all remained silent and trembling, till at last the abbess murmured--"Is this done with your free- will, Dorothea?"
6701But what are you all doing here by night in the churchyard?"
6701But what happened as she returned to her lodgment in the Rüdenberg Street?
6701But what happened?
6701But when the executioner threw open the door, and bade the witch take off her shoes and enter backwards, she refused and scolded--"What?
6701But where have ye read that any one was saved who had wantonly taken her own life and that of her father?
6701But where is my beloved Diliana?"
6701But which is the greatest sin of all that the holy and ever- blessed One committed?"
6701But you talked of a second mode: what is it?
6701But, calming herself in a moment, added,"Ah, good Anna, is it not human to err?--have you never been deceived yourself?"
6701But, dear reader, how could I then have been able to recite Latin hymns, even had I known any?
6701But, father, if you wish-- shall I summon him by the magnetic sign?"
6701By day and by night her image floats before him, and wherefore should she be so hard and cruel- hearted towards him?
6701Ca n''t people die but by witchcraft?
6701Can we not do the business ourselves?
6701Can we not right ourselves?
6701Can ye not govern yourselves?
6701Can you not look any one straight in the face?"
6701Canst thou, too, defend the violation of the marriage vow?"
6701Consul_ again shuddered, so that his beard wagged, and said,"What, dost thou indeed know Latin?
6701Consul_ held a letter in his hand, and, after spitting thrice, he began thus,"Wilt thou still deny, thou stubborn witch?
6701Consul_ whether every dying person, even a condemned criminal, had power to leave his goods and chattels to whomsoever he would?
6701Could she give her change of a dollar?"
6701Death, where is thy sting?
6701Did St. Peter bewitch that covetous knave Ananias( Acts v.) when he fell down dead at his feet for having lied to the Holy Ghost?
6701Did he think that witches grew up in the town like cabbages?"
6701Did not I forbid thee to go up the mountain by night?
6701Did not our Lord Christ pardon Mary Magdalene, who lived in open whoredom?
6701Did she lie, or did she speak the truth?"
6701Did the abbess know, perchance, of any one who would suit her as bridegroom?
6701Diliana spake--"Grandmother, how did these things come to pass?"
6701Do they belong to the chapter of noble virgins?
6701Do they not teach you, and teach you from your youth up, that ye must have princes and priests?
6701Do you hear this, Sidonia?
6701Dost thou curse them daily, as is thy duty?"
6701Eh, brothers, where is that written in the Scriptures?
6701Eh, children?
6701Eh?"
6701Et ego peccarem cum quavis detestatione carnis, et non semel, sed iterum atque iterum sine reversione usque ad mortem?
6701For his Majesty inquired how far it was to Swine, and whether there was still much foreign soldiery there?
6701For the sake of God and thy salvation, confess, for if thou knowest thyself to be innocent, how, then, canst thou think that thou wilt be burnt?"
6701For what are his riches but your sweat and blood, if ye reflect on it; and is it a sin to take your own?
6701For what cause had she forced herself into the sub- prioret?"
6701For what is love but attraction or sympathy towards some object, whereby we desire to blend with it?
6701Had any man ever heard the like?
6701Had not sister Dorothea heard----"_ Hæc._--"No; for God''s sake, what?
6701Had she a good conscience wherefore should she do it?
6701Had she not freely perilled her life for his Grace?
6701Had she not herself said, she would pray the porter to death?"
6701Had they never heard how the people of Anklam had, in former times, killed their rulers and governors, and then did justice to themselves?
6701Has your Highness forgotten all history?
6701Hath the devil possessed you, Jobst, in earnest?
6701Have patience, sir knight; why do you press me for a promise when you have heard my resolve?"
6701He came to know whether there was a witch, perchance, also in Marienfliess?"
6701He heaved a deep sigh, and said,"Mary, Mary, is it thus I must meet thee again?"
6701He meant whether she had ever played the wanton with Satan, and known him carnally?
6701Hell, where is thy victory?
6701Here clearly he showed himself no angel, but, as the Lord Jesus named him, the''father of lies;''for tell me, friends, was I drunk to- day?
6701Hereupon I answered that I had not indeed read any such book( for say, who can read all that fools write?
6701Hereupon he turned to the sheriff, and cried angrily,"Why, in the name of all the ten devils, is it thus your lordship keeps the constable in order?
6701Hereupon she looked towards me, and said,"Father, shall I tell?"
6701How came so much amber on the Streckelberg?
6701How can I tell now of the poor widow''s screams and tears?
6701How could a bishop be so sunk in superstition?
6701How could he have patience longer?
6701How could it be done?
6701How could she believe a knave who had already deceived his own gracious Prince?
6701How could she commit such a horrible sacrilege?
6701How could she remember?
6701How could she right such matters?
6701How could the all- merciful God forgive this to the vilest of women?
6701How did it happen?
6701How did the man get it?
6701How large will the grapes then be?"
6701How then could she have wished to do her such grievous harm?
6701How, for instance, could this account for the deeply demoniacal nature of old Lizzie Kolken as exhibited in the following pages?
6701How, then, would he hear them?
6701How?
6701However, Jobst and the old dairy- woman helped him up as best he could, and asked what ailed him?
6701I called to her from my bed,"Dear child, wilt thou then never cease?
6701I drew near to her and pulled the apron from her face, saying,"Wilt thou then again kill me with grief?"
6701I had often asked,"Whence comes all this blessed bread?
6701I motioned him to stop, and asked why he thus ran from me his confessor?
6701I saw this for awhile with many sighs, but spake not a word( for, dear reader, what could I say?)
6701I stepped up to him, and asked what had come to the people?
6701I still did as though I had seen naught, and said,"Wherefore, dear child, dost thou suffer such torment?"
6701I then implored him to tell me the truth, and what horrid suspicion had arisen against me in the parish?
6701I will do it not, and who else will?
6701If I do take a sleeping draught after the fatigues of the day-- tell me, what does that matter to this impudent devil?
6701If even you succeeded in seizing her, how would this help?
6701Immediately after, the poor possessed one turned herself on the couch, sighed, opened her eyes, and asked,"Where am I?"
6701Is it not folly to suppose that the blessed angels could be compelled by influences from plants and stones?"
6701Is it not so?"
6701Is it not strange that my gracious Prince should just now come and demand the proof of my purity?
6701Is it not true, dear cousin?
6701Is it not true, dear cousin?"
6701Is it true that Satan appeared to thee on the Streckelberg in the likeness of a hairy giant?"
6701Is it true that thou hadst a spirit called_ Disidæmonia,_ who re- baptized thee and carnally knew thee?
6701Is it true that thou hast done all manner of mischief to the cattle?
6701Is it true that thou hast fallen off from the living God and given thyself up to Satan?
6701Is my whole ancient race to perish?
6701Is the worthy and upright man really dead?
6701Is this true or not?
6701Jobst was right: was the proud oak the worse because a rotten branch was lopped off?
6701Know you not that God gives many signs to His people, and speaks in wonders?
6701Let his Grace ask the doctors did it require witchcraft to give a man the rheumatism, who sat in a draught of air?"
6701Ludecke continued--"Were there more witches in the place beside the dairy- mother?"
6701May I dare to ask the angel?"
6701Meanwhile, the Duke and Dr. Joel come up with my worthy godfather, stop him, and ask what the knight, Jobst Bork, was saying to him?
6701Must she then do his cattle a mischief?
6701My Jobst, however, will not remain; and Diliana asks,"What his Grace will do about Wolde?"
6701My child, to whom I had as yet told nothing, in order to spare her, then asked me,"Father, what is the matter with all the people?
6701My poor child turned pale as a corpse, and asked in amaze what had come to her?
6701My torment would then have endured but for a moment, but now it will last as long as I live?"
6701Nevertheless, they were quiet enough as we drove past, albeit some few cried,"How can it be, how can it be?"
6701Now, as no one will take service with her, what else can I do, but play the trencher- woman myself, and thus save my poor father''s life?"
6701Now, dear reader, what could I say, save my hearty good- will?
6701Now, what blood had he ever shed, except the blood of accursed witches?
6701O Lord Jesu, who hast said,''What man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone?''
6701O heaven, how is it possible?"
6701Peter?"
6701Quid?
6701Quomodo clementissimus Deus hoc sceleratissima ignoscere posset?
6701Reverend Abraham, must I teach you Scripture?
6701Say, reverend Abraham, which is the greater sin, to commit whoredom, or to take the lives of two persons?"
6701Shall I run and call her?"
6701Shall not we then drink of the cup which our heavenly Father hath prepared for us?"
6701Shall she try it with the porter?"
6701She asked,"Who was to make up their graves and plant flowers on them?
6701She can teach you all the shameful words which, as I hear, flow so liberally from her lips-- eh, sisters, will ye have the wanton or not?"
6701She had a husband, and four innocent little children likewise; who would take care of them now?"
6701She must have had sponsors; who were they?
6701She wept, wrung her hands-- for God''s sake what could she do?
6701Sidonia now screamed with rage--"What wants this silly varlet here, this beardless young profligate?
6701So my magister began, and demonstrated the whole_ opus theurgicum_; but the knight is as unbelieving as Jobst, and says--"But what need of the angel?
6701So my worthy father- in- law called out, while his hair stood on end with terror,"Children, for the love of God, what is the matter?"
6701Some cried out,"Is that the witch?"
6701Some of Sidonia''s kin, amongst whom was Jobst, swore the devil''s hag deserved it all; and how could her death bring dishonour upon them?
6701Speak, Anna Apenborg, whom dost thou name for an abbess, my much- loved sister?"
6701Speak, sister Dorothea, what was your prayer?"
6701Speak, then; alas, will none speak?"
6701Speak-- how hath the Rabbi Akkiva sworn?"
6701Speak-- what saith the Talmud?
6701Suppose you ask Anna Apenborg to take it?"
6701The abbess clasps her hands together, looks at the priest in astonishment, and cries,"For the love of God, tell me what does all this betoken?"
6701The dear young lord forthwith did as I would have him, and only asked the people whether they now held my child to be perfectly innocent?
6701The question was not what good she had done to the poor, but_ wherewithal_ she had done it?
6701Then Duke Philip asked Dr. Cramer,"What he thought of the matter as_ theologus_?"
6701Then Duke Philip asked the knight if he had accused Sidonia of the witchcraft, and what had she answered?
6701Then Duke Philip turned to another--"How say you, brother-- mayhap there is hope of an heir to Wolgast?"
6701Then Jobst related all that had happened, and asked had he acted rightly?
6701Then Sidonia asked--"Have they aught to say against it?
6701Then he patted her cheek, and again asked,"_ Sed quoenam es, et unde venis_?"
6701Then he rose up again and spake:"I ask you, for the last time, Sidonia von Bork, do you confess yourself guilty or not?"
6701Then in German he added:--"Yet the Lord is my light, of whom then shall I be afraid?
6701Then she said to the magister,"Much do I wish to ask the angel, wherefore it is that God gives such power to Satan upon the earth?
6701Then the Duke bid the widow send a peasant and his cart for the corn; however, the old answer came back--"She was a cheat-- what did she mean?
6701Then truly did my poor mouth so fill with water, that I was forced to bow my head and let it run upon the earth before I could ask,"Who art thou?
6701They thus sat and toyed awhile, till the young lord again perceived me, and said,"What say you thereto?
6701Think you he forgot her?
6701This angered me sore, and I said to her,"Why wast thou not at church?
6701This message gave me good courage, and I asked the fellow whether he also had come to bear witness against my poor child?
6701This rejoiced my young noble heartily, and he kissed the little hands and lamented over her foot--"And was it much hurt?
6701This, at length, vexed the sheriff, who asked him whither they should not drive back again, seeing that night was coming on?
6701Thou canst see through the stomach?"
6701Thou forbadst him to approach thee until summoned; and now where could be a greater proof of his love than in having obeyed thee?"
6701Thus the argument and strife went on, till Jobst at last cried out sharply,"Diliana, dost thou esteem the fifth commandment?
6701Truly the whole convocation shuddered at the sight, but Bishop Francis was the first to speak--"And this is no devil''s work?"
6701Upon the seventh commandment, to the great scandal of the entire convent?"
6701Upon which he sprang from the coach, advanced closer, and asked,"What is it, poor girls?
6701Was he, then, really such an object of abhorrence to her, such a fire in her eyes?
6701Was she making a fool of him?
6701Was she therefore wrong or right?
6701Was she, in truth, an evil witch?"
6701Was that all they could do--_pray_ the mighty council, forsooth, to lower the tax?
6701What can the poor abbess do?
6701What chaste maiden would ever bathe in the sea?
6701What could my Jobst do?
6701What devil had invented this story?
6701What did he want from him?
6701What did people mean coming with begging prayers for the devil''s brood?
6701What did the dear sister think on the matter?"
6701What did they want with parsons?
6701What didst thou want on the mountain by night?"
6701What had she done to the convent porter?"
6701What is the greatest sin He has committed?"
6701What is this you mean to do with us?"
6701What right had prince, minister, or council to skin a people?
6701What say our fathers of blessed memory?"
6701What say ye, brave Jobst?
6701What should I bleed you for?
6701What should I confess, you fool?
6701What think you this devil''s whore then did?
6701What thinkest thou?"
6701What was that matter concerning the priest which caused you to complain of him to our princely consistorium?"
6701What was to be done now?
6701What was to be done?
6701What wouldst thou know further?"
6701What!--was she to bear this insolence?
6701What, then, had she done besides?
6701What, then, will it not be when Messias comes?
6701When and where had it been ever heard that one person could pray another to death?
6701When did you hear any testimony from me against this virtuous maiden?
6701When he ended, all the Borks present screamed with horror, and gathered round him:"And was it not possible yet to change this sentence?"
6701When he saw my daughter he turned his horse round, chucked her under the chin, and graciously asked her who she was, and whence she came?
6701Where could she meet with a braver husband?"
6701Where didst thou learn the Latin?"
6701Where hath the devil hid him?
6701Where have you heard that the angels of God seek help and shelter from the devil, as you have done here?
6701Where is his princely Highness at this time?
6701Where is it said in your Scriptures that one man can pray another to death?
6701Where is the carl with the deep bass voice?
6701Where is your justice, sir knight-- your honour?
6701Wherefore are we the selected people, if we could not spoil the children of Edom?
6701Wherefore can ye not be Like- dealers also?
6701Wherefore is the Duke such a goose?
6701Wherefore she took me aside: What was to be done?
6701Whereupon he springs to the waggon, and asks with wonder,"Ussel, what brings thee here?"
6701Whereupon she asked again--"Grandmother, art thou happy?"
6701Whereupon she covered her face with her hands, and moaned,"Alas, father, wherefore was I not burned here?
6701Whereupon the doctor spoke--"Eh?
6701Whether she had perceived that_ Rea_ had a familiar spirit, and in what shape?
6701Whether, peradventure, he also believed that my daughter had bewitched her little godchild?
6701Who can keep order and decorum so well throughout the convent?"
6701Who could this be at that midnight hour, but the devil bodily himself?"
6701Who is he like who reads only in the Scripture, and not in the Talmud?
6701Who is the wiser now, I wonder-- eh?"
6701Who will now run down into the village, and cut off the mane and tail of my dead cow which lies out behind on the common?"
6701Why did she blush again?
6701Why did she hesitate?
6701Why do you not scrape diligently; shall I give you a receipt?"
6701Why had she threatened?
6701Why should we go begging to a council?
6701Why, then, had she been so kind to her formerly, and kept her like a sister, through the worst of the famine?
6701Will burning her break the spell?
6701Will she not let him go now, that he may pray?
6701Will ye follow me?
6701Will you and your little daughter, this virgin, not deliver me and my ancient race from so great and terrible a foe?
6701Will you die, if Satan often takes up his dwelling- place in your heart?"
6701Wilt Thou slay us, as Thou didst the first- born of Egypt?
6701Wilt thou buy a little grain too-- eh?
6701Wilt thou even yet deny?
6701Woe is me, ruthless father, what have I done?
6701Would he not take a glass of mead, or even water?
6701Would not their comrades join?"
6701Would that do?"
6701Would the nobles of Pomerania, whom she saw around her, suffer one of their own rank-- a lady of castles and lands-- to be thus handled?
6701Would they consent to this, out of great charity and mercy to the candidate David?
6701Yet, when did men, till now, say that these signs were of the devil alone, and persecute and destroy helpless women by reason of them?
6701Your Highness must pardon my mirth; but who could help it?
6701[ Footnote: In tractat Kethuvoth] But who will_ not_ partake these blessings?"
6701[ Footnote: Latin note of Bogislaff XIV.--"Tune ego ipse, nonne?

6701_ Summa_: I blessed myself from this young lord; but what could I do?
6701_ Summa_: I was not a little shocked at what he told me, and asked him what he now thought of the sheriff?
6701_ The Duke._--"What caused the sudden death of the convent porter?"
6701_ The Duke_.--"What is the Schem Hamphorasch?"
6701_ The Duke_.--"Wherefore had she treated the novices with such cruelty, and run at them with axes and knives, to do them grievous bodily harm?"
6701_ The Duke_.--"You are raving, good Joel; yet-- but how can this be possible?"
6701and as he did not know thereof, the Duke asked, whether she knew Latin?
6701and did He not speak forgiveness to the poor adulteress who had committed a still greater_ crimen_?
6701and good luck we all prize dearly above all things-- eh, my master?"
6701and when I answered him,"To take the lives of two persons,"he went on,"Well, then, is not that what your stubborn child is about to do?
6701and whence comest thou, seeing that thou hast bread?"
6701and whether she would not change her mind on the matter and have him now, or else come into service with him( the sheriff) himself?
6701and will this murderous nun be brought to judgment?"
6701are they, too, bewitched?"
6701art thou indeed her spirit?"
6701can it be?
6701can ye not pray for yourselves?
6701cousin, cousin, wherefore did you not make full confession?"
6701cried Duke Francis,"what else is it but devil''s work?
6701exclaimed Diliana in horror,"where has the wolf gone?
6701exclaimed Sidonia, starting up;"what the devil, do ye think I am seventy?
6701had they not the power in their own hands, if they would only be united?
6701has she confessed?"
6701has your worthy father sent you to me?"
6701have I deserved this at your hands?
6701have you an evil conscience?
6701he continued;"wilt thou still deny thy great wickedness?
6701how Satan blinded the reason of men; for when were such cruelties ever heard of as were practised now on poor helpless women?
6701how comes it that my good people of Stettin are so unruly?
6701how could she talk on such a matter?
6701how couldst thou hear my voice speaking down by the sea, being thyself in the forest upon the mountain?
6701how did it happen that your dear spouse fell so suddenly ill?"
6701how does she find my dragon?
6701how know you aught of my rolling butter?"
6701if the cattle should all turn their horns against the dog and the shepherd, what becomes of my fine pair?
6701if ye are kings, princes, and priests yourselves, must ye needs pay for other kings, princes, and priests?
6701is it all out?
6701is it true?"
6701is not a prince a fine thing, to squeeze the sweat and life- blood out of ye, and turn it into gold for himself?
6701is the bloodhound back again?
6701is there ease already?"
6701is there no leech here to feel the pulse of his Serene Highness?
6701my heart''s dear father, what would my poor grandmother say in eternity?
6701nay more, doth not St. Paul expressly say that the harlot Rahab was saved, Hebrews xi.?
6701sayest thou this of thyself, or have others bidden thee?"
6701seeing that I wept for very joy, as did my child, and I answered, how should it not be my will, seeing that it was the will of God?
6701shall I not willingly bear thee, thou sweet cross of my bridegroom, of my brother?"
6701she cried out again,"Hold your chatter-- will you, or will you not?"
6701shouted the mob,"Where dost thou live, mother?"
6701spake the abbess,"whose judgment hath been pronounced?"
6701the pious priest, would he tell them now what he and Dorothea were doing behind the altar?
6701thou devil''s witch, hast thou found thy recompense at last?"
6701thou old witch, and who has told thee that I wish to go into service, to get a curch on my head?
6701thou silly, childish thing; how should the meek Sidonia ever bear to be served by a noble lady as thou art?
6701thou thick ploughman, hath the devil brought thee here too?
6701unless the dear sister, as sub- prioress, took the matter in her own hands, and brought him to task about it?"
6701was this, too, laid on her as a crime?
6701what ails you, Dorothea?"
6701what can be done?"
6701what do I see?
6701what has happened?"
6701what has the devil just thrown into her lap?"
6701what is it ails you, sweet maid?
6701what matter for that?
6701when was such speech ever heard from you before?
6701where in Pomerania land-- yea, in all German fatherland-- was such a wise, pious, and learned Prince to be found?
6701where is the executioner?"
6701who hath ever heard the like from this our chaste sister, whom we have known from her youth up?
6701why did I ever accept the sub- prioret?
6701will he come?"
6701will you write?
6701will your Episcopal Highness then take the trouble to tell us, who is to seize the hag?
6701wretched man that I am, how shall I understand all the benefits and mercies which the Lord bestowed upon me the very next day?
6701you tell me this, in the presence of the priest''s wife and your serving- wenches?
6701younker, hast thou a cup of Malmsey?
6700Ah, gracious Prince, what brings you here? 6700 Ah, thou pious old priest in petticoats,"exclaimed Sidonia,"who told thee I wanted to marry the Prince?
6700And who are these on horseback who follow thee?
6700And would he not give his last farewell to his dear, darling mother?
6700And you think you will frighten her into giving up running after the young men?
6700Are you better now?
6700Ay, true, dear cousin; but, then, does he not say, too,''I will that the younger widows marry''?
6700But his Highness knew the poor peasants were all beggared; and where could the nobles get the money?
6700But how does all this help him now?
6700But how would she know the result of his visit? 6700 But of what woman?"
6700But still he must hold by his word to his lady mother, would he not?
6700But what could I do with all the fish?
6700But what could he now desire to say? 6700 But what need, gracious Prince, of a governor at Saatzig, when all the courts are closed and no justice can be done?
6700But who in the devil''s name was the girl? 6700 But who is to see us, my beautiful maiden?
6700Could he think this of her? 6700 Do you then love me, Sidonia?
6700Does this employment, then, give you much pleasure?
6700Has any one injured you?
6700Has it ever an injurious effect upon them? 6700 Has she ever tried its effects upon any one herself?"
6700His new jerkin hurt him, he wanted her to tie it another way for him; but is it really true, Sidonia, that you do not know your catechism? 6700 How could he answer her?
6700How now, peasant,he cried,"what means this boldness?
6700Is the drink of equal power for men and women?
6700Nothing ails me,he answered; then sighed, and walked up and down the room, murmuring,"What is the world to me?
6700Oh yes, well he remembered them; but what did this long sermon denote?
6700Quid juvat innumeros scire atque evolvere casus Si facieuda fugis et fugienda facis?
6700Second, why and wherefore had she stuck up the elder twigs?
6700So I am dear to you,he cried, still kneeling;"I am then really dear to you, adored Princess?
6700Third, whether she had a devil; and how was he named?
6700This valet, this groom, dared to kiss her? 6700 To infect the young maidens with her vices, or plague them with her pride?
6700Was it not all prophesied? 6700 Was the devil himself among them that accursed evening?"
6700Was this treatment, forsooth, for a noble lady? 6700 What are you doing?"
6700What can that dog be here for?
6700What can you want here at such an hour?
6700What could she have done? 6700 What did I want?
6700What did he think of her? 6700 What did he want with his lady mamma?"
6700What did this mean? 6700 What makes thee miserable, enchanting Sidonia?"
6700What sort of man was this chaplain? 6700 What the devil would she do in a convent?"
6700What was her name? 6700 What was she thinking of?
6700What? 6700 Where is that accursed fool?
6700Who are you?
6700Who has said that I am a lost son?
6700Who is her equal in the whole of Pomerania?
6700Who is that handsome youth?
6700Who told him that? 6700 Who would care for her now that her father was dead, and had left her penniless?
6700Who, then, was the gay youth who sat beside her there on the bundle?
6700Why did not that fool of a bookworm give over his chance to him, if he would not profit by it himself? 6700 Why do you weep?"
6700Why must thou go, my own sweet darling? 6700 Why should I weep?"
6700Why should she leave them? 6700 Why should they do more to him than he had done unto them?
6700Why then did she sit in the cellar, as if she shunned the light?
6700Would she be his own dear wife?
6700Yes; I am courteous to them all, for so my father taught me, and said it was safer for a maiden so to be-- but----"But what? 6700 You may go,"said her Grace;"but what do you mean to do?
6700_ Item_, what did my gracious lady mean to do with those drunken libertines? 6700 ''Oh, wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from the body of this death?'' 6700 ( And what remains to me, wretched son? 6700 2--ay, even more than you mocked your temporal Prince this day? 6700 24--Each man''s going is of the Lord, what man is there who understandeth his way?"
6700A noble maiden who is as innocent as the child in its cradle, to be scourged by the common executioner?
6700Ah, never; but in this instance who could tell what the carls in their fright had seen or not seen?
6700Amongst these last the fool showed off to great advantage, for who could twist his face into more laughable grimaces?
6700And after this, she was asked if she could make good the loss of the sheep?
6700And as the other stood quite silent, he continued--"Where is your charter for the Jena dues?
6700And had not all the nobles in old time led the same life, and so gained their castles and lands?
6700And had she a little drop of wine, just to pour on the haddock''s liver?
6700And her Grace, seeing the young lord lying pale and insensible on the ground, wrung her hands and cried out,"Who has killed my son?
6700And now what think you of giving us a jolly wedding?
6700And she heard the priest asking,"Who accuseth this woman?"
6700And that reminds me-- where are they all now?"
6700And then she kissed his yellow silk hose ardently, continuing,"What would have become of me, a helpless, forlorn orphan, without your protection?"
6700And was this a time even for shirt- sleeves, when they were in the month of November?
6700And when the knight asked,"Which is Sidonia?"
6700And would not his Grace have Oderburg when old Duke Barnim died?
6700And would sister Sidonia believe it, sometimes the carls came in bare- legged?
6700Anger, because the false wanton, Sidonia, had been removed by her orders from her princely castle?
6700Answer me-- who amongst all these is fitter for the gallows than thou art?"
6700Are noble ladies made for his kisses?"
6700Art thou drunk, fool?
6700As I said this, she sprang up, tore her hand away from me, and cried with mocking laughter,"What does the knave mean?
6700As he passed the door of the abbess''s room, again she called him in; but as he entered, she exclaimed in terror,"My God, what ails your reverence?
6700At last the Prince started up, and stepping to Otto, asked him, Would he not dance?
6700At this speech Sidonia screamed aloud,"Thou lying and accursed stable- groom, darest thou speak so of a castle and land dowered maiden?"
6700But Marcus Bork begged to ask him, if the ghost did not come that night, what was to be done?
6700But Satan knows how to help his own, for what happened while they were crouching there and arguing?
6700But did his darling bride know who the ghost was?"
6700But first, would he allow her to go and pray alone in the church?
6700But he first addressed his faithful Marcus, and asked, had he heard tidings lately of his cousin Sidonia?
6700But he would admonish her to give him up; did she not see that he was shameless, cruel, and selfish?
6700But his Grace is wroth:"What should he be troubled for?
6700But how could they ascertain the fact?"
6700But in some time the abbess, who was on the watch, saw him striding past her door; so she opened the window and called out to know"Where was he going?
6700But she forgave him; it must have been the wine he drank made him so forget himself; or was it possible that he spoke in earnest?"
6700But the Duke called out again,"Where art thou, Clas?"
6700But the devil made answer to the poor living corpse--"Dost thou take me for a silly fool like thyself, that I should now undo all I have done?"
6700But the old gipsy mother sprang forward with a knife, crying,"Thy father, fool?--what care we for thy father?
6700But the proud girl grew red with indignation, and cried,"Do you dare to strike me?"
6700But was it true?
6700But was the wicked cousin dead?
6700But what did she do now, the cunning minx?
6700But what does the devil''s sorceress do now?
6700But what happened?
6700But what happened?
6700But what happened?
6700But what shall we do now with Sidonia?"
6700But what sort of man was he, and did all the nuns, in truth, spin for him?"
6700But what was the dear sister herself to eat?"
6700But when old Ulrich beheld her, he exclaimed,"Seven thousand devils!--do my eyes deceive me, or is this Sidonia again?"
6700But who are you?
6700But who can provide against all the arts of the devil?
6700But would he not promise to return, if she stood in any great need or danger?
6700Can you think that our gracious Prince, a son of Pomerania, will make thee his duchess-- thou who art only a common nobleman''s daughter?"
6700Canst thou deny it?
6700Canst thou deny this, O thou lost son?
6700Canst thou not love a duke better than a noble?"
6700Clara grew quite calm in a moment, and asked, compassionately,"What aileth thee, poor Sidonia?"
6700Could she have betrayed them?"
6700Could the good Anna tell her what the sheriff had for lunch to- day?"
6700Could there be a more lovely face in all the German empire?
6700Could you not teach it to me, if it cures the rheumatism?
6700Did he not remember what he had sworn by the corpse of his father at St. Peter''s?
6700Did he not see that his father was only trying to frighten him?
6700Did he perchance ever teach any of them to read or write?"
6700Did he then remember the admonitions which the wearer of this armour had uttered, upon his deathbed, to him and his brothers?"
6700Did her Grace think that the passion of a man could be controlled by promises, as a tame horse by a bridle?
6700Did not God''s Word tell us how the prodigal son returned to his father, and would not her son return likewise?"
6700Did she think it a crime to take a few feathers from that old sinner, Duke Barnim, or his girls?
6700Did the Prince think that Pomerania was like Saxony, when he began these fine buildings at Friedrichswald?
6700Did the nuns ever admit a lover into their cells?"
6700Did you not drop notes for me down on the coach, through the trap- door, fixing the nights when I might come?
6700Did you not give your promise also to me, the old man before you?
6700Did you not meet me afterwards in the lumber- room-- that day of the hunt when Duke Barnim was here last?"
6700Did you not press my hand there when you were lying after you fell from the stag?
6700Do they deny all the facts which have been elicited by the great advance made recently in natural and physiological philosophy?
6700Do ye not remember your oaths to me?
6700Do you know his name?"
6700Duke Bogislaff answered,"What else remains for me to do but to accept the government?"
6700Duke Philip married to- day in Berlin?
6700For had not the coward struck his own sovereign lady the Princess with the drumstick?
6700For how could he stand before the world as a fool?
6700For what did this fool do now?
6700For what happened in the afternoon?
6700For what was my knave''s next act?
6700For where truly could your fellows find the true green in their sandy dust- box?
6700For wherefore does this Stargard pedlar come here to my fairs?
6700Had Appelmann seen any one?
6700Had he brought them anything to drink?"
6700Had he even set a bad example to his subjects?"
6700Had he forgotten that she lived there?"
6700Had he heard anything of her Highness recently?"
6700Had he not been afflicted himself?
6700Had he not given his right hand to the wearer of that armour, and pledged himself ever to set a good example before the people committed to his rule?"
6700Had he not sworn by the corpse of his father never to we d her?"
6700Had not the finger of God warned him this very night, in hopes of turning him back to the right path?
6700Had she not sent away the girl at his command; and now he would let her own child die before her eyes, without hope or consolation?"
6700Had the priest been informed that he would be required to we d them?"
6700Has not Christ said,''Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy''?
6700Hast Thou no glance of Thy holy eyes for this denying Peter, that he may go forth and weep bitterly?
6700Hast thou finished thy sermon?
6700Have I not told thee that my father is going to give me my heritage?
6700Have you dared to release Sidonia?"
6700Have you ever studied Hebrew?"
6700Have you promised her marriage?"
6700He drew forth his knife--"Would they not finish the knave at once?
6700He had a wife and dear children; what would become of them if he incurred the displeasure of that stern Lord Chamberlain and of the princely widow?"
6700He soon came out of his mother''s room, and seeing Sidonia, took her hand tenderly, asking, with visible emotion--"Dear lady, what has happened?"
6700He would not upbraid him with his broken promises to him, but would he bring his loving mother to her grave through shame and a broken heart?
6700Her Grace, too, became thoughtful, and said at last--"Could we not send her to the convent at Marienfliess, or somewhere else?"
6700Her Highness started from her chair when she beheld them, her cheeks glowing with anger, and exclaimed,"What does this mean?
6700Her father had asked her one day, when she was about ten or twelve years old,"What kind of a husband she would like?"
6700Her son is asking every moment if the messengers have departed, and what shall she answer him?
6700Here Sidonia grew quite indignant-- what could she know of a vile witch- wench?
6700Here Sidonia laughed aloud, and asked if she knew how to brew the love- drink?
6700Here old Ulrich laughed outright, and asked the doctor, was he still bent upon teaching Sidonia her catechism?
6700Here the abbess answered,"How could she make her sub- prioress while the other lived?
6700Here the burgomaster again interfered--"Why should the honourable council attempt a stupid insult, because the knight had done so?"
6700Here the good mother interposed--"But could not sister Sidonia moderate her language a little?
6700Here the old parson said that Sidonia cried out,"How now, sir knave, you are going to buy castle and lands forsooth, and have no money?
6700Here the treasurer, to conciliate her Grace, pretended that he never had heard the story of the betrothal, and asked,"What does your Grace mean?"
6700Hereat Sidonia laughed aloud, exclaiming--"Said I not right?
6700His Grace had a house at Stettin; what did he want with a second?
6700His Grace, however, heard the whisper, and called out angrily, while he advanced from the door,"What meanest thou, knave?
6700How can I help if he chooses to come in here and, though I weep and resist, takes me in his arms and kisses me?
6700How can I help it?"
6700How could he hope for God''s grace to amend him, living with a thing like that, tied to him for life, which God and man alike hold in abhorrence?"
6700How could she know?"
6700How could she leave her dearest friend to the care of these old hags, when she was in the castle, who owed everything to her dear Clara?"
6700How dare this tailor''s son treat a castle and land dowered maiden in such a way?
6700How fares it with my dearest father and my mother?"
6700How if you should one day find that to be true which your infidelity now presumptuously asserts to be false?
6700How long would it last?"
6700How will the poor people see now by night?--why did the prioress lock up the moon?
6700How, then, if he had none?"
6700However, he had heard the whole conversation, and flew at her to beat her, crying,"Am I then a base- born groom?
6700However, when he raised them again Sidonia''s were fixed on him, and she murmured,"Will you not learn?"
6700I conjure thee by the living God, tell me is it thy true purpose to take this harlot to thy wife?"
6700I give it, mind, out of pure Christian charity; but now tell me honestly-- canst thou really make a love- drink?"
6700I have twelve pounds of wool lying by me; will you take it, dear lady, for teaching me the secret?"
6700I know not what ails me; but I am so afraid----""Afraid of what, dearest lady?"
6700I thought she was at Saatzig; or perchance thou hast made her thy wife?"
6700If you have found my words true-- the words of a poor, weak, sinful woman, will you not much more find those of the holy Son of God?
6700Is he drunk, too?"
6700Is it not true, Sidonia, you will remain here?"
6700Is the wanton still here?
6700Is there not time enough to talk of this after?"
6700Is this a nuns''cloister, where all the gates lie open, and the carls come in and out as if it were a dove- cot?
6700Let her speak-- where would she go to?
6700Let him remember that his son had promised her marriage, and would he destroy his own children?
6700Look, dear cousin, is she not the image of Sidonia?"
6700Might she take her ladyship''s little hand and kiss it?"
6700Nor would he ever think of giving her one; for why should he send such a hell- besom to sweep the pious convent of Marienfliess?
6700Now her Grace knew nothing about the dues, and therefore said, turning to the Duke--"Dear uncle, what does this arrogant knave mean?
6700Now when the Princess had read the date for herself, she asked, what had happened to the Duke, his ancestor?
6700Now, do you understand what retaliation means--''An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth''?"
6700Now, the Duke had heard this story of the bridal a hundred times; yet to please her he asked,"And what was it, dear cousin?"
6700Now, the young lord was no sooner left alone with Sidonia than he pressed her to his heart--"Did she love him?
6700Now, this letter had moved of itself;_ ergo_,"& c. Whereupon his Highness answered--"When had he ever doubted the power of Satan?
6700O Lord Jesus Christ, hast Thou no drop of living water, no crumb of strengthening manna for this sinful and foolish soul?
6700Old Kleist, the governor, had just died, and to whom could he give the castle sooner than to his right worthy and loyal Marcus?
6700One said,"Now?"
6700Or the early Christians who, with one accord, sold their possessions, and gave the price to the poor?"
6700Or, if the foaming flask is before me, how can I resist to drain it, for the spirit of gluttony is within me?
6700Otherwise, wherefore should they marry?--what could they live on?
6700Otto then demanded,"Who art thou, and what is thy request?"
6700Poor sinner, what does it help you to believe in one God?"
6700Seeing no one from the darkness, the Duke called out,"Is Clas there?"
6700Sidonia now invited the Prince to try his fortune; and so, forgetting the admonitions of the Duchess, he said,"What dost thou prophesy to me?"
6700Sidonia was rather thunderstruck, as one may suppose, and retreated a few steps, saying,"Stand up, dear youth; what ails you?"
6700Sidonia, Sidonia, can it be possible?"
6700So I asked what there was so pleasant in the thought?
6700So he spake--"Thy repentance seemeth good unto me, my son, what sayest thou?
6700So leave off thy preaching, and tell me rather what brings thee spying to my room?"
6700So my knave at last came to his senses, and answered sullenly,"What did he want here?
6700So she pushed the poor woman out, and then panting and blowing with rage, asked Anna Apenborg to tell her what this boor of a sheriff was like?
6700So the poor wretch began to quiver at last in his death agonies; whereupon the knight called out,"Wilt thou confess?
6700Step forward, Otto Bork, where are you hiding?
6700Still he asked, with his eyes bound,"Master, is any one coming?"
6700Tell me what are sinful desires?"
6700The Duke, now turning to his equerry, asked him--"Would not these horses match his Andalusian stallions perfectly?"
6700The old man, however, cared little for their shouts; and still gazing on his son, cried out,"Dost thou not answer me, thou God- forgetting knave?
6700The old nun still continued crying, would not her Grace send her a priest?
6700The pious Clara recoiled in horror, and desiring her to rise, said--"Art thou Anne Wolde, some time keeper of the swine to my father?
6700Then Jacob Appelmann turned to his profligate son, and asked,"Does she speak the truth?
6700Then Sidonia asked the boy, if he thought the castle folk would hear him?
6700Then Wolde asked,"Had she forgotten Duke Casimir?"
6700Then he heaved a deep sigh, opened his eyes, and asked,"Where am I?"
6700Then he throws his arms round her and kissed her, and asked, would she be his?
6700Then he whispered, did his dear wife know of any byway that led to the castle?
6700Then he would ask, if the conversation turned upon his enemies-- and half the nobles were so--"Sidonia, how does thy father treat his enemies?"
6700Then she tossed up the window, though the snow blew in all over her bed, and called out,"Well, what says he?
6700Then the old man turned to Sidonia, and asked why she had left her worthy cousin Marcus of Saatzig?
6700Then they dragged out the bags of spices, and emptied them all down upon the street, crying--"Come hither, ye Jews; which of you wants pepper?
6700Then turning to the Prince--"Do you know this armour?"
6700Then, as Sidonia blushed and looked down, he continued--"And where did the fellow get these fine horses?
6700They brought him the water, and then he added--"Jacob, hast thou, too, had any tidings of our children?"
6700Think you that our male line will become extinct, and the heritage of fair Pomerania descend to Brandenburg?
6700This is a fine hearing for my knave in the bush, so he steps forward, and asks--"What vile Josel had dared to ill- treat so brave a youth?
6700This mightily pleased the sorceress, and she grew quite friendly, asking him at last,"What news he had of his wife and children?"
6700This plunged her Grace into despair, and she exclaimed in anguish,"Will you not have pity on my dying child?"
6700This softened Sidonia somewhat, and she asked--"What are the nuns doing there with the fish?"
6700This spoiled all Sidonia''s good- humour in a moment, and she snappishly asked--"What brought her there?"
6700This was not to be done?
6700To which the priest answered--"Who knows if your Highness will be alive by the end of the year, for you look as pale as a corpse?"
6700Upon which Sidonia cried out,"How can it be possible?
6700Upon which my Lady of Wolgast turned to her, and asked if she were yet wedded to her gallows- bird?
6700Upon which the carl asked what he was to be paid for his trouble?
6700Upon which the old mourning father cried out--"Do you want to break my heart?
6700Was he not as powerful as any duke in Pomerania?"
6700Was he not the captain?
6700Was his Grace better than his forefathers?
6700Was it ever heard in Pomerania that a prince needed two state residences?
6700Was it the honour of his name he wished to shield by sparing her from infamy?"
6700Was there not a drawbridge which was lifted every night?"
6700What ailed him?
6700What brought me here?
6700What could I say?
6700What could she do, when they turned her by night and cloud out of the castle?
6700What could that mean?
6700What could the poor abbess do?
6700What could the ringing be for?"
6700What could they do?
6700What did my fool?
6700What did she care about his dinners?
6700What does the witch mean by her spittings?
6700What else were these giddy wantons thinking of but lovers and matrimony?
6700What had he ever done so wicked that his own bodily father should thirst after his blood?
6700What had she in them?"
6700What had the country to expect from a Prince who would die, forsooth?
6700What is this I hear of thee in Wolgast?
6700What man understandeth his own way?"
6700What right had he to break the peace of the land, to gratify his lust and greed?
6700What sayest thou?"
6700What think you of myself, for instance?"
6700What use was it to her?
6700What was Sidonia beside her, but a rude country girl!--would he not give her up at last, this light wench?
6700What was he doing with her maid?
6700What was he to get?
6700What was her Grace to do?
6700What was his name?"
6700What was she to do here?
6700What will become of me?
6700What wonder then if club- law and the right of the strongest should obtain in all places, as in the olden time?"
6700What would be said if any one saw you here?"
6700What would he do in a miserable fishing village?
6700What would her cousin of Brandenburg and Mecklenburg say, when they heard that she had no longer knights or pages at her court?
6700What, then, had she dreamed?"
6700When Johann heard this, he was terribly alarmed, and kissed her little hands, and coaxed and flattered her--"Why did she weep?
6700When he came now he was in his shirt- sleeves, at which Sidonia was wroth--"What did he mean by going about the convent in shirt- sleeves?
6700When she flatters the young men, and makes free with them as they are passing to dinner, what marvel if they all run after her?
6700When the knight stepped on board, he kissed and embraced her-- but where was the young Prince whom he had seen standing beside her?
6700Where could he put the head?
6700Where did he come from?"
6700Where had he been so long?
6700Where had she come from?
6700Where hast thou been so long, my sugar- morsel?"
6700Where have my eyes been, that I never discovered this before?"
6700Where is my child?
6700Where is my good Marcus?
6700Where is she?
6700Where is the old hag now?
6700Where was the crime?
6700Where would he find such a dwelling in his village nest?
6700Wherefore, my God?)
6700Whither go you?
6700Who could know whether this devil''s fiend was telling them the truth?
6700Who gave it to thee?"
6700Who gave thee this infamous book?
6700Who had belied him so?
6700Who is it?
6700Who the devil could burn a witch with wet wood?
6700Who then is this"I"?
6700Who wants cloves?"
6700Who was the knave?
6700Who was this woman?
6700Why did Doctor Martinus let her ring fall?
6700Why did he build that new castle of Friedrichswald?
6700Why did she follow him so?"
6700Why didst thou run away from my house and the writing- office?"
6700Why had he not done so?"
6700Why had she been persuaded to throw off her mourning, and slight the memory of her loved Philip?
6700Why should I care what the world thinks?"
6700Why should she refuse a kiss when she was asked?
6700Why should the gown for the beggar- girl anger her?
6700Why the devil should he descend to play the commoner, when he was born to play the prince?"
6700Will it please thee, sweet one?"
6700Will not your repentance then be bitter?
6700Will you not kill him?"
6700Will you not learn of Him, dear lady?
6700Will you suffer that this peasant boor Appelmann should kiss the noble Sidonia as she lay there faint and insensible?
6700Would he make himself on a level with the lowest of the people, by wedding Sidonia the next night in the church at Crummyn?"
6700Would he not look at the beautiful bride she had selected for him?
6700Would he not marry him?"
6700Would he sell them?"
6700Would his Highness allow him to see the feathers?
6700Would his Highness come to meet her there?"
6700Would his dearest Sidonia put on the dress of a page?
6700Would no one come with her?
6700Would not her Grace think it a grief and sorrow if a woman sheared those locks?
6700Would not the Prince likewise wish to hear his?
6700Would she forgive him?
6700Would she not be ready to marry him immediately?
6700Would the girl teach her how to brew it?
6700Would they not burn Trina Bergen likewise-- the old hag who had the witch in her cellar?
6700You brought the girl here to cure him, and what other answer could she give?

6700_ Ille_.-"Who was his father?"
6700_ Ille_.--"Ah, then, he kept the keys of the castle?"

6700_ Ille_.--"How did it happen, then, that Abraham arrived at the knowledge of the_ one_ God, and called on the name of the Lord?"
6700_ Ille_.--"It was a simple act of retaliation; had he not read,''An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth''?"

6700_ Ille_.--"Wherefore, then, had he tricked his Highness of Stettin out of the horses?"
6700_ Item,_ he advanced to Sidonia, sighing--"Would not she too forgive him, for the love of God?
6700_ Item_, the Duke threw down some gold and silver medals--"Could he break them?"
6700_ Sidonia_( quickly removing her hands).--"What was it?"
6700_ Summa_, here are the three questions:--"First, whether she had bewitched the hens; and for what?"
6700_ The Duke._--"How did it happen, then, that he had no children by his beloved Amrick?"
6700a guest!--and who could it be?"
6700am I to poke under my bed to see if any one is hiding there?
6700and castles and towns all round the land?"
6700and had she not also made every man in the castle that approached her mad for love of her, all by her diabolical conduct?
6700and how could she ever hope to turn to God and lead a new life with such an infamous partner?
6700and how did she come into the cellar?
6700and if that old proser, meaning the Duchess, looked always as sour?
6700and were it not rather some work of the bodily Satan himself?
6700and what had happened since they parted?"
6700and why dost thou wish me to be only a simple noble?
6700and why should Konnemann dare to interfere with him?"
6700and would her Grace ever consent?
6700are you a heathen?
6700art Thou come at last?"
6700art thou a freethinker?"
6700did she never allow a feast or a dance?
6700did she wear her nun''s dress in bed?
6700does it take away their strength?"
6700exclaimed a voice,"is that old damned Catholic witch at her mummeries, and burning my good wax candles all for nothing?"
6700for if she encountered Sidonia, what could she expect from her but the bitterest death?
6700for, if the master lies, are the servants to be punished if they believe him?
6700good Marcus, dost thou begin again on that old theme which roused my wrath so lately, and made me fall into that peril?
6700had Clara herself a lover?
6700has the good- for- nothing old churl written this?
6700have I not long ago given thee thy right name?
6700he stepped slowly towards her out of the crowd, and asked what was her pleasure?
6700how can that be?"
6700how comest thou in the merchant vessel?"
6700how could the chaste sister bring her lips to utter such words?"
6700how?
6700is it possible?
6700is it thus I find thee?"
6700is this maiden, then, Sidonia?"
6700must thy chatter help to make us more melancholy?"
6700my treasure!--where hast thou been so long, my sugar- morsel?
6700no one had called her a witch before; how could she bewitch them?
6700or do you believe in anything?"
6700or had he seen any one go by the window?"
6700or hast thou not drunk enough yet?"
6700or was she not rather making a mock of him, and the whole convent, by her pretended sickness?"
6700she exclaimed,"you desire more kisses?
6700she knew now what the wanton had come there for; but would he kill his mother?
6700she was sick, sick unto death-- would he not pray for her?
6700she whispered, while her whole frame trembled,"what have I foolishly said?
6700some of you: who commenced this tavern broil?
6700the whole world was a Sodom and Gomorrah, why, then, not the convent, since it lay in the world?
6700then he took her little hand, kissed it, and bedewed it with his tears, still repeating,"Sidonia, dearest Sidonia, have you come to nursetend me?"
6700then you know that the Hebrew word for_ name_ is_ Shem_?"
6700thou common horse- jockey-- thou low- born varlet-- is it thus thou bringest disgrace upon a maiden of the noblest house in Pomerania?
6700thou damned peasant, thinkest thou we have no bley?"
6700thou false serpent-- thou accursed above all the generations of vipers-- how wilt thou escape eternal damnation?"
6700thou godless son, hast thou this noble maiden with thee yet?
6700thou insolent knave, dost thou dare to compare thy feudal lord to a brute?"
6700thou old, lean hag-- so thou wilt spin no flax?
6700thou proud wanton, didst thou not run after me like a common street- girl?
6700uncle,"said her Grace,"a truce to such folly; do you not know what St. Paul says--''Let the widows abide even as I''?"
6700unless his mistress sat by his bedside?
6700was he in love?
6700was that a cell for a lady of her degree?
6700was there ever such a tyrant as her husband to any one, but especially to his own born children?
6700what are ye all at here?"
6700what did she mean by that?
6700what did she mean?"
6700what has she beheld?
6700what is it?
6700what is the meaning of that?
6700what must I live to hear?
6700what will become of the poor lamb?
6700what?
6700where should they bring her to?"
6700wherefore not?
6700who are you?
6700who could have thought it?
6700who has murdered my darling child?"
6700who will hang us now?
6700why?
6700will he come?
6700will he come?"
6700will it last, think you, if I now bestow thy life on thee?"
6700will not the nobles of Pomerania stand by their Prince?
6700will ye steal again?
6700will you not dance?"
6700you have seen my Adam in Treptow; what think you now of Eve?
