31511 | Had Doctor Cole been appointed in recognition of the claims of the church? |

31511 | Well neighbour, sayth one, do ye not suspect some naughty dealing: did yee never anger mother W? |
31511 | Were they harmless beings with malevolent minds? |
31511 | Were they not good witches? |
31511 | What is witchcraft? |
31511 | What was the nature of the delusion seemingly shared by eight people? |
31511 | What was to be done with it? |
31511 | What was to be done with the witches? |
31511 | What were these witches, then? |
31511 | When all the fraud and false testimony and self- deception were excluded, what about the remaining cases of witchcraft? |
31511 | Who knew that it was seven minutes? |
31511 | Why did they leave out the very essential of the witch- monger''s lore? |
31511 | Why did they not speak at all of the compacts between the Devil and witches? |
31511 | Would he have stood by this when pushed into a corner? |
31511 | [ 17] Can we wonder that a student at such pains to discover the fact as to a wrong done should have used barbed words in the portrayal of injustice? |

43966 | What want ye here? |
43966 | What''s wrang wi''ye the nicht, Maggie-- what''s tae fricht ye, my lass? |
43966 | Would you see me? |
43966 | ''Ken ye''( quo''I)''o''yon new cheese our wyfe took but frae the chessel yestreen? |

43966 | ''What in the name of wonder was that?'' |
43966 | ''What''ll we do wi''the wee diel?'' |
43966 | ''What''s wrang wi''the boy?'' |
43966 | ''What,''( says the Lass)''am I a child yet?'' |
43966 | As the phantom carriage plunged nearer, the skipper, regaining some little of his courage, ran forwards, hailing in sailor fashion--"Where bound? |
43966 | As to Jennet, the goodman''s daughter, he cryes to her,"Jennet Campbel, Jennet Campbel, wilt thou cast me thy belt?" |
43966 | But 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? |
43966 | But 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? |
43966 | Coming up with him again, who halted all the time I sought my staff, I asked once more"Who he was?" |
43966 | He asked me if I had considered the matter he had recommended? |
43966 | How could I vindicate myself? |
43966 | I enquired,"If he was the Laird of Coul, what brought him hither?" |
43966 | I know, said he, that this is a mere evasion; but tell me if your neighbour, the laird of Thurston, will do it? |
43966 | I then sat up in bed and called out,"Who''s there? |
43966 | I''m gaun to send''t t''ye i''the morning, ye''re a gude neebor to me: an''hear''st thou me? |
43966 | Quoth she,"what a widdy would thou do with my belt?" |
43966 | Sayes she to the Minister''s wife,"Shall I do it?" |
43966 | She asks,''How could it then be that her Bible was covered over with bloud?'' |
43966 | The Devil said to him,"Say you that? |
43966 | The Laird had plenty, had neither wife nor a wean, sae wha cud greet? |
43966 | The ghostly call of the night,"How long?" |
43966 | The goodman and his wife became alarmed, while the lads and lassies ran madly about interrogating one another with''Where''s granny?'' |
43966 | The hare had observed him, and at once inquired if he would shoot his own mother? |
43966 | They wakened him, and then he, hearing it say"Thou shalt be troubled till Tuesday,"asked,"Who gave thee a commission?" |
43966 | Wad 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? |
43966 | What made you turn half- road?'' |
43966 | What 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? |

18253 | What can be more atrocious than the whole story, which is yet but the common story of witch confessions? |

18253 | what art thou? |
18253 | where, and by what art learn''d, What spells, what charms or invocations? |
18253 | whereunto the said Spirit said; they are making three Pictures: whereupon she asked whose pictures they were? |
18253 | why should the envious world Throw all their scandalous malice upon me? |
39176 | Ah, who will understand him,she said;"who will comfort him when I am gone? |
39176 | And can not you turn to God? |
39176 | And can you bear to have your name sullied by this alliance with the wicked? 39176 And can you part with life thus triumphantly?" |
39176 | And have you then suffered so much? |
39176 | And 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?" |
39176 | And where,continued he,"is our young friend the student? |
39176 | And who told you I was so great a sinner? |
39176 | But what can we live for, if not for love? |
39176 | But where is she, who, at this calm hour, Watched his coming to see? 39176 Do you remember the fever you had soon after? |
39176 | Edith, my child,said her father,"what has happened?" |
39176 | Edith,he said at last, straining both her hands in his,"have you been able to think how cruel this death may be? |
39176 | Have I deceived myself? |
39176 | Have you forgotten my father? |
39176 | Is she now living? |
39176 | Is there any cause in nature that makes these hard hearts? |
39176 | Is this a tale? 39176 It is almost evening,"he said;"shall we not have prayers?" |
39176 | My dear Phoebe, do you remember the day when your grandmother died? 39176 O, my dear mistress, how?" |
39176 | Was it not too sad, that she should meet that dreadful fate just as her lover returned, and she was going to be so happy? |
39176 | What became of her lover? |
39176 | What have you done, that God should grant you the happiness to weep? |
39176 | Will they not say, and justly,''Go back to your plough; it is your destiny and proper vocation to labor?'' |
39176 | After a pause, Edith said,"Alas, there is no hope of escape: and why do you fold my hair so carefully? |
39176 | Ah, how can those who love be sufficiently grateful to God? |
39176 | Ah, when the frame round which in love we cling, Is chilled by death, does mutual service fail? |
39176 | Ah, who could live without love?" |
39176 | And was she indeed the same person? |
39176 | And you, Phoebe, you have loved me, have you not?" |
39176 | Are intercessions of the fervent tongue A waste of hope?" |
39176 | But why did she turn aside when they met? |
39176 | But will he remember me?" |
39176 | Can 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?" |
39176 | Can he lift the leaden covering from the conscience? |
39176 | Can such revenge dwell in so young a heart?" |
39176 | Can you bear to think of it?" |
39176 | Could I esteem and honor you as I do, were you what you call yourself? |
39176 | Do you not know that God sees you and hears you, and that he will punish you for it? |
39176 | Have you forgotten how long, how truly, how fervently, I have loved you? |
39176 | Have you fortitude? |
39176 | He whom circumstance has invested at the moment with power? |
39176 | How did she die? |
39176 | How long, think you, before they will be like mine? |
39176 | Is tender pity then of no avail? |
39176 | Might I dare to hope that you would forgive, that you would pardon the poor, unknown, homeless scholar, that he has dared to love you?" |
39176 | O, my poor Phoebe, how can you be so wicked as to tell this dreadful lie? |
39176 | Of what avail has been a life of self- denial, of benevolence? |
39176 | Of what avail that I have striven to enlighten my own mind and to do good to others? |
39176 | Shall I appear as a beggar, or a peasant, to beg the trifling pittance of a book?" |
39176 | Shall I go again to my good friend at C----? |
39176 | She took her hand tenderly in hers, and whispered,"Can not you put your trust in God?" |
39176 | Slept? |
39176 | The young girl said,''Why do you despair now, my lady? |
39176 | Then she looked at the sleeping child:"Can the lamb dwell with the tiger, or the dove nestle with the hawk? |
39176 | Those who die as criminals are believed guilty of crimes; and can you consent to be remembered as the associate of evil spirits?" |
39176 | Was it only impatience at my lot which destined me to inexorable poverty?" |
39176 | What book shall be our evening reading? |
39176 | What could have been Seymore''s emotions when the cloud had vanished, and he stood in the clear sunshine of reason? |
39176 | What do you know of sorrow? |
39176 | What have they promised you for bringing this trouble on me?" |
39176 | What more do we want? |
39176 | What was her fate?" |
39176 | When the deacon visited her in the morning, she said, with much warmth,"Have the days of Queen Mary come back? |
39176 | Where did she live? |
39176 | Where now the solemn shade, Verdure and gloom, where many branches meet; So grateful, when the noon of summer made The valleys sick with heat? |
39176 | Who first spoke to you about it? |
39176 | Who is to judge what opinions are to be tolerated? |
39176 | Who was she? |
39176 | Who would die and be wholly forgotten? |
39176 | Why not apply to him again?" |
39176 | Will it be always thus? |
39176 | am I losing my memory, my mind?" |
39176 | and do you counsel this?" |
39176 | and is it for that you have brought on me this terrible evil? |
39176 | and is this to be the close of all?" |
39176 | and what does he know of the heart- broken? |
39176 | said Edith,--"how he lived among you? |
39176 | said Edith;"can not you pray? |
39176 | tell me: are you angry that I punished you? |
39176 | thought he,"is this madness? |
39176 | thought she;"will he think of me in''widowhood of heart?''" |
39176 | what have ye looked on since last we met?" |
39176 | what was her fate? |
39176 | where did she live? |
32176 | And why so? |
32176 | But how by descent? |
32176 | But howe were they soe? |
32176 | Do you bid me farewel? |
32176 | Her days were gane,said Elva;"and where were the daughters?" |
32176 | How many hast thou killed for her? |
32176 | In what place? |
32176 | Sancta Marie,says he,"Bessie, quhy makis thow sa grit dule and sair greting for ony wardlie thing?" |
32176 | Shall I do it? |
32176 | What did she bid thee do? |
32176 | What more than Edward? |
32176 | What more? |
32176 | What remedy now? |
32176 | What remedy? |
32176 | What were their names? |
32176 | Where be they? |
32176 | Where dwelt the man and the child? |
32176 | Who are they? |
32176 | Would ye see me? |

32176 | ''_[ 8] Fountainhall says that she was convict and burnt; but is this not a mistake? |
32176 | A young Gentleman, Brother to the Lady, seeing him, switcht him about the ears, saying,''You Warlok Cairle, what have you to do here?'' |
32176 | Ah, Master Tom, did you then know so much of prayer and the inclining of the counsels of God? |
32176 | And Isobell Straquhan, too, had she not powers banned even in the blessing? |
32176 | And among the rest Jennet Device,( was she our old acquaintance of perjured memory?) |
32176 | And can not a Palsy shake such a loose Leg as that? |
32176 | And did not Elizabeth Eastcheap see her knee, which looked as if it had been pricked in nine places with a thorn? |
32176 | And did not Joan Williford''s imp tell her that"though the Boate went chearfully oute it should not come so chearfully home?" |
32176 | And further, that while the needle was in her shoulder, as aforesaid, she said,''Am not I ane honest woman now?''" |
32176 | And had he not cause? |
32176 | And had not the devil once, when she was a young lassie, kissed her, and given her a new name? |
32176 | And if all that was not done by devilish art and craft, how was it done? |
32176 | And if all this was not proof against Marion Cumlaquoy, what would the Orkney courts hold as proof? |

32176 | But Cristiane took a great fright and said,"Lord, what wilt thou do with me?" |
32176 | But at the end of this time, Alice Coward, sister to Jane, happening to meet him and to say,"How do you do, my Honey?" |
32176 | Can''st thou Dance no better? |
32176 | Coming 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? |
32176 | Did experience ever open their eyes or shake their faith? |
32176 | Did she not reject him when left a widow, young and beautiful as but few were to be found in all the Scottish land? |
32176 | Do you say this is the day I must scratch the young Witch? |
32176 | Dost thou not twirl like a Calf that hath the Turn, and twitch up thy Houghs just like a Spring- hault Tit?" |

32176 | Good Spirit--"But why did Bull bewitche him?" |
32176 | He then reproached her, saying,"How could she bid him pray for her, since she could not pray for herself?" |
32176 | Her husband, she had said, was embarrassed with this big black horse, and asked what he should do with it? |
32176 | Here 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? |
32176 | Hob 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? |
32176 | How should he if no man was to kill him? |

32176 | She 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?" |
32176 | So was not Mary Johnson an undoubted witch with all this testimony against her? |
32176 | Subtract from this account the possible and the certain-- the possible frauds and the certain lies-- and what is left? |
32176 | Suddenly the child cried out,"Did you ever see one more like a Witch than she is?" |
32176 | The chief witness against her was her little daughter- in- law( step- child?) |
32176 | The next day he came with Lierd, and asked"why she was so snappish yesterday?" |
32176 | The old woman turning against the Lady, said, half sorrowfully,"Madam, why do you use me thus? |
32176 | The witch was hanged: could they do less in such a clear case as this? |
32176 | Then came in the man''s natural voice, addressing the spirit:"Come, come, prithee tell me why did they bewitch me?" |
32176 | There was poor Patrick Lowrie, fylit July 23, 1605--what had he done? |
32176 | This precious wretch( was it John Kincaid?) |
32176 | To whom did she make this prayer? |
32176 | To whom she answered,"What canst thou do at him?" |
32176 | Turning to Jennet, the good man''s daughter, he cried,"Jennet Campbell, Jennet Campbell, wilt thou cast me thy belt?" |
32176 | Upon Andrew Wobster-- who had put a linen towel round her throat, half choking her, and to whom she said angrily,"Quhat wirreys thow me? |
32176 | Was Catherine''s brand like a"blew spot, or a little tate, or reid spots, like flea- biting?" |
32176 | Was Tom, the Glasgow student, afraid of being made a weaver, consent or none demanded? |
32176 | Was not all this enough to hang a dozen Julian Coxes? |
32176 | Watching with Matthew Hopkins, he asked Elizabeth Clarke if she were never afraid of her imps? |
32176 | What evidence could be stronger? |
32176 | What further evidence could possibly be required to prove that Isobel Cockie was a witch, and one that"might not be suffered to live"? |
32176 | What is wightier than a Kinge in his owne lande? |
32176 | What is yonder that casts a light so farrandly? |

32176 | When Janet Irving was brought to trial( 1616) for unholy dealings with the foul fiend, it was proved-- for was it not sworn to? |

32176 | shall I never be believed till it be past Time? |
32176 | that I shall now have my Fits, when I shall both hear and see and know every Body? |

32176 | what dost thou say? |
32176 | what hast thou done? |
32176 | whither are you taking me?" |

42318 | Do you know who will be the next U. S. Senator from this State? |
42318 | In the hall of thieves,said the lady;"what on earth can be the meaning of that? |
42318 | Of what must I take care? |
42318 | What were they eating and drinking? |
42318 | When did I hurt thee? |

42318 | Where? |
42318 | Will 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?'' |
42318 | ''What is your occupation?'' |
42318 | ''What makes her unhappy?'' |

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

42318 | _ I._ On what ground do you assert that the religion of the day stands in a position"negative"to other influences? |
42318 | _ I._ Pray tell us what you mean by the dream- region that lies between the two worlds? |
42318 | _ I._ Well, I should say he would teach the latter; but what use would the knowledge that he is such a fool be to us? |
42318 | _ P._ Can you, then, bear an announcement still more startling than any I have yet made? |
42318 | _ P._ Did not the heathens consult familiar spirits as petty divinities, or gods, and as such, follow their sayings and commands implicitly? |

28513 | Have there been any disputed Methods used in discovering the Works of Darkness? |
28513 | He asked her, who did then? |
28513 | He demanded why? |
28513 | He would have us trie the Justice of God; but how? |
28513 | He would have us trie the Power of God; but how? |
28513 | He would have us trie the Promise of God; but how? |

28513 | Is it not possible? |
28513 | It was for Us that our Lord overcome the Devil: and when he did but say,_ Satan, Get hence_, away presently the Tygre flew: Does the Devil molest Us? |
28513 | May we not say,_ We are in the very belly of Hell_, when_ Hell_ it self is feeding upon us? |

28513 | Once more, why may not_ Storms_ be reckoned among those_ Woes_, with which the Devil does disturb us? |
28513 | Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being Innocent? |
28513 | Said_ Joseph_,_ What''s the matter Brother? |
28513 | Shall we condemn him that is most just? |
28513 | Shall we sink, expire, perish, before the_ short time_ of the Devil shall be finished? |
28513 | Some time after,_ Bishop_ asked him, whether her Father would grind her Grist for her? |

28513 | The Devil would have us trie the Mercy of God, but how? |
28513 | The Worshipful Mr._ Hathorne_ asked her,_ Why she afflicted those Children?_ She said, she did not Afflict them. |

28513 | When our Lord was in his Penury, then says the Devil,_ If thou be the Son of God;_ he now makes an_ If_, of it;_ What? |
28513 | Whence had they this Supernatural Sight? |
28513 | Where was it, that the Devil fell upon our Lord? |
28513 | Who of us can say, what may be shewn in the_ Glasses_ of the Great_ Lying Spirit_? |
28513 | Why was that? |
28513 | Why, did the Devil say to our Lord,_ Cast thy self down_, but in hopes that our Lord would have broke his Bones, in the fall? |
28513 | Would we find a Covert from these_ Vultures_? |
28513 | Yet when she was asked, what she had to say for her self? |
28513 | _ A Devil._ What is_ that_? |

28513 | _ Magistrate._ Pray, what ails these People? |
28513 | _ Magistrate._ Well, what have you done towards this? |
28513 | _ Martin._ How do I know? |
28513 | _ N._ and said,_ Do you not see her? |

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

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 | But seemingly the court could not wait for an answer, because, in the same breath, it asked, What did your visitant tell you? |
36312 | But the magistrate seemingly doubted its truth or its sufficiency, for he next asked,--"_ Q._ Why have you done it? |
36312 | But the_ cui bono_, the what good? |
36312 | But what did her master require her to"stand to"? |
36312 | But what did she say by way of confessing or accusing? |
36312 | But which, among the human faculties, did that delusion spell- bind, stultify, and make sanguinary? |
36312 | But who was genuine author of playful proceedings at a time when the business was so grave and solemn? |
36312 | But why she? |
36312 | But why to Thomas Putnam''s? |
36312 | But with what eyes? |
36312 | By whom was it seen? |
36312 | Can 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? |
36312 | Can reflection find her competent to all that was ascribed to her? |
36312 | Community called such matters witchcrafts, and why should not these children do the same? |
36312 | Confessed to what? |
36312 | Could Ann Foster''s gray- haired man have been Tituba''s white- haired visitant-- the originator and enactor of Salem witchcraft? |
36312 | Could firm, true men, holding then prevalent beliefs, have done less? |
36312 | Dadie thought I spoke, and said,''What''m?'' |
36312 | Did he believe that_ demons_ acted within her, held her back, and made her something like three times heavier than she normally was? |
36312 | Did he offer you any paper? |
36312 | Did he say you must write anything? |
36312 | Did he see, hear, and feel all that he testifies to? |
36312 | Did he tell you who they were? |
36312 | Did such observable effects occur as Mather described? |
36312 | Did supernal prescience select and post agents peculiarly fitted to perform the witchcraft tragedy? |
36312 | Did the historian himself who quoted those words and let them appear to be accurately descriptive of facts, believe that they were such? |
36312 | Did they, or did other agencies, produce the mysterious disorders which seemed to devil- dreading beholders like diabolical obsessions? |
36312 | Did you think it was witchcraft?'' |
36312 | Do such feats bespeak their origin in_ delirium tremens_? |
36312 | Do you get those cats, or other things, to do it for you? |
36312 | Does he believe that such things were actually performed either by or through her? |
36312 | Does he believe that such were the literal facts even in appearance? |
36312 | Does the hugeness which debars them from entering contracted domiciles to- day prove their existence to be but fabulous? |
36312 | Doth the devil tell you that he hurts them? |
36312 | Doth the devil tell you that he hurts them?" |
36312 | Elizabeth Knap''s visitant-- the one to whom she said,"What cheer, old man?" |
36312 | Especially do they ever spontaneously avow that the devil or any_ evil spirit_ is helping them? |
36312 | For who, in any community, would ever count one_ a saint_ who manifested such offensive qualities to any great extent as he ascribed to her? |
36312 | For,--"_ Q._ What did you say to him, then, after that? |
36312 | From whom came the things put forth through her which"she knew nothing of"? |
36312 | From whom came the tones, if not the words, of languages which this possessed girl had never learned? |
36312 | Had he met Tituba? |
36312 | Had it less sagacity than his own? |
36312 | Had she divulged her knowledge, what heed would have been given to the word of the ignorant slave? |
36312 | Had she made a_ covenant_ with the devil, or any devotee of his? |
36312 | Has he left record of a series of facts, or only of fictions which he set forth as facts? |
36312 | Has the Great Permitter of the many sufferings which war has engendered been"shockingly wicked"? |
36312 | Hath the devil ever deceived you and been false to you?'' |
36312 | He said,''Miss Perkins, can I go out and see who''s there?'' |
36312 | He was stating facts, which, in his apprehension, were harmless, and why should he not let them out? |
36312 | Her patients promiscuously? |
36312 | His only question was, did the thing occur? |
36312 | How can the occurrence of such facts be explained, or rather_ who_ produced them? |
36312 | How could he? |
36312 | How did the historian account for such-- for those seeming"more than natural"? |
36312 | How did you set your hand to it? |
36312 | How else can thought inhere?" |
36312 | How far have you complied with Satan whereby he takes this advantage of you?'' |
36312 | How far up, down, around, do natural forces and agents extend and operate? |
36312 | How much beneficence did one then need to perform before public sentiment, would reprobate its author? |
36312 | How much did this import? |
36312 | How old are you now? |
36312 | How_ know_ that she or her case was the then all- engrossing topic? |
36312 | How_ know_ that their manner was expressive of any particular topic of conversation? |
36312 | Hutchinson says,"The most remarkable occurrence in the colony in the year 1655[ 1656?] |
36312 | Hutchinson states that Mr. Dane himself"is_ tenderly_ touched in several of the examinations, which"( the tenderness?) |
36312 | I presently asked her, what letter? |
36312 | I said to him,''Can you say your lesson?'' |
36312 | If he resembled an Indian, is not the inference very fair that he was an Indian? |
36312 | If there be a fixed limit to nature''s domain, where is it? |
36312 | If we presume( and why may we not?) |
36312 | If_ entranced_, was the girl, then, a voluntary seer and speaker? |
36312 | Indeed, how can any other than perverted vision see harm in the girl''s filial compact? |
36312 | Indeed, who among men could possibly have taught or helped her to prophesy correctly, to hear the far distant, or to embody a spirit child? |
36312 | Is crabbed temper there? |
36312 | Is ignorance of, or is knowledge of, nature''s forces and inhabitants the greater blessing? |
36312 | Is it possible that the mind of man should be capable of such strong prejudices as that a suspicion of fraud should not immediately arise? |
36312 | Is she a witch or a cunning woman? |
36312 | Is slander there? |
36312 | Is that idea conveyed in calling her a successful practitioner? |
36312 | Is there only one kind of mental power throughout the whole animal kingdom, differing only in intensity and range of manifestation? |
36312 | Is this the woman?'' |
36312 | Little Sarah was asked,--"How long have you been a witch? |
36312 | May not natural endowments sometimes be ample qualification for admitting the evolvement through one''s form of very great marvels? |
36312 | Modern wisdom(?) |
36312 | Most seriously we ask whether forces which can be and have been measured by palpable scales, are"beyond the legitimate boundaries of human knowledge?" |
36312 | Mrs. Morse''s possession of their secret was so unaccountable that the husband in astonishment asked,"Is she a witch or a cunning woman?" |
36312 | My husband presently said, What? |
36312 | Now, then, there are some persons_ so constituted_ that they perceive these shadows(?) |
36312 | On that Wednesday night"Abigail first became ill.""_ Q._ Where was your master then? |
36312 | Or the second time? |
36312 | Perhaps he did; and yet on what rational grounds could he? |
36312 | She cried out to him,"What cheer, old man?" |
36312 | She had penetration enough to_ conjecture_"( why say_ conjecture_?) |
36312 | Should they be called outgrowths from"fraud and imposture,"as they were by another? |
36312 | Should they be left unadduced and unalluded to, as they were by one elaborate historian? |
36312 | The external or the internal one-- the boy material or the boy spiritual? |
36312 | The girl''s confession? |
36312 | The outer or the inner-- his material or his spiritual ones? |
36312 | The question was repeated thus:"_ Why_ did you never visit these afflicted persons?" |
36312 | The same question, partially, is up to- day-- viz., Can any but willing devotees to Satan be used in the processes of spirit manifestations? |
36312 | The_ confessions_(?) |
36312 | The_ only_ charge_ proved_? |
36312 | Then what did you answer him? |
36312 | Then why write? |
36312 | Therefore our fathers would with conscious propriety ask any one whom they supposed to be under"an evil hand,""Who hurts you?" |
36312 | This begs the primal question, viz.,_ Did_ he undertake to torment them? |
36312 | This weakness(?) |
36312 | To whom can they refer, if not to spirits of some grade? |
36312 | Was clear statement of what its senses had witnessed evidence of its credulity? |
36312 | Was he a faithful and true witness, or not? |
36312 | Was it causing iron to swim? |
36312 | Was it foolish in him to state the truth? |
36312 | Was it only her_ pretense_? |
36312 | Was it so? |
36312 | Was its belief in the testimony of its own senses a proof of its_ credulity_? |
36312 | Was she so generous as to give credit to another, and that other an"evil spirit,"for help which she did not receive? |
36312 | Was that a condition of things in which the younger two would join the elder in sly additions to the distress around them? |
36312 | Was that a_ deluded_ court, representative of a_ deluded_ people, which condemned Margaret Jones to"hang high on the gallows- tree"? |
36312 | Was that a_ playful_ moment? |
36312 | Was the former generation less truthful than his own? |
36312 | Was their perception of him nothing more than the product of the imagination of the witnesses? |
36312 | Was there any_ fraud_? |
36312 | Was there anywhere a prior institution of that kind? |
36312 | Were Braybrook''s statements true as to the main fact? |
36312 | Were all the declarations false? |
36312 | Were all those youthful females shockingly wicked? |
36312 | Were horses, vehicles, and drivers, or were even saddle- horses, regularly at the command of such girls for conveyance to and from such meetings? |
36312 | Were its senses less reliable? |
36312 | Were the external senses of a whole community so disordered that the character and dimensions of sensible acts were grossly misapprehended? |
36312 | Were these doings by Mather foolish and useless? |
36312 | What amount of success in alleviating the sufferings that flesh is heir to would invoke public vengeance? |
36312 | What beatings might she not well fear if she confessed to any dealings with invisible beings? |
36312 | What did he say you must do? |
36312 | What did he tell you?" |
36312 | What do you ride upon? |
36312 | What had you there? |
36312 | What harm have they done unto you? |
36312 | What if it was? |
36312 | What is fit treatment of such facts and testimony from such a source? |
36312 | What is_ he_ like? |
36312 | What miracle did he concede that the devil can work? |
36312 | What more common than for attendants to offer and urge upon a suffering and agonized person any stimulant or cordial at hand? |
36312 | What next? |
36312 | What persons would be summoned into court to testify concerning her when such was the charge? |
36312 | What qualities give better_ a priori_ promise of correct testimony than do sincerity and a sound understanding? |
36312 | What started, and extended, and intensified that tongue if it did wag? |
36312 | What then? |
36312 | What then? |
36312 | What then? |
36312 | What though all spectators failed to see the Indian? |
36312 | What though the agitation of Christendom brings its latent iniquities and impurities to the surface? |
36312 | What though the counterparts of publicans, sinners, and harlots float numerously into view? |
36312 | What unseen power? |
36312 | What was it like that got you to do it? |
36312 | What was the character of the Goodwin children themselves? |
36312 | What was their duty? |
36312 | What were the accusations against him? |
36312 | What were those feats? |
36312 | What would you have me do?'' |
36312 | What, therefore, must be done? |
36312 | What, therefore, was the historian''s necessity? |
36312 | What_ 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? |
36312 | What_ lies_ which the truthfulness of society there and then would not decline to repeat against her? |
36312 | When I ceased working upon my patient, her husband said,''Do you suppose you can affect_ me_ in the same way?'' |
36312 | When her master hath asked her( Tituba?) |
36312 | When she perceived and called out to some personage invisible to her companions, saying,"What cheer, old man?" |
36312 | Whence the excitement itself-- such excitement as could regard an accurate guess as necessarily the offspring of diabolical insight? |
36312 | Whence the impulse? |
36312 | Where are they? |
36312 | Where did they find him? |
36312 | Wherein lurks anything which indicates that the witnesses in this case stated anything that was not substantially true? |
36312 | Which is most dutiful to God and friendly to man? |
36312 | Which is most scientific? |
36312 | Which shall we do? |
36312 | Which? |
36312 | Which? |
36312 | Which? |
36312 | Which? |
36312 | Which? |
36312 | Who and what was he? |
36312 | Who but visible or audible spirits, proving themselves to be such, can give decisive response to that momentous question? |
36312 | Who first appeared to her? |
36312 | Who helped the little clergyman lift and hold the heavy gun? |
36312 | Who knows? |
36312 | Who knows? |
36312 | Who sees either mind, or the force by which an aching toe reports to the brain and excites the sympathy of the whole organism? |
36312 | Who sees electricity, magnetism, gravitation, attraction, cohesion, repulsion? |
36312 | Who was the prime mover? |
36312 | Who was"my Indian man"? |
36312 | Who, next to Powell, among those present at the manifestations, was most likely to have made a covenant with the Evil One? |
36312 | Why afraid of such result? |
36312 | Why call that a_ pretense_, and make her a liar? |
36312 | Why did any intelligent being, whether mortal or spirit, thus woefully invade and disturb the homes of able, honored, worthy Christian men? |
36312 | Why did n''t you take the words of your own witnesses as corroborative of the man''s statement? |
36312 | Why did the people of his time take his life? |
36312 | Why do you not tell us the truth? |
36312 | Why do you thus torment these poor children?'' |
36312 | Why not put some confidence in the words of this religiously educated girl? |
36312 | Why say_ pretended_? |
36312 | Why should they lead to, or rather why fix upon, the beloved and venerated Mrs. Nurse? |
36312 | Why was such a one an enterer of complaints against neighbors, whether high or low, good or bad? |
36312 | Why, said she, hadst not thee such a letter from such a man at such a time? |
36312 | Why? |
36312 | Why? |
36312 | With''eagerness of mind''she asked them,''Does she tell you what clothes I have on?'' |
36312 | Yes,_ what_ unseen power? |
36312 | Yes; 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?'' |
36312 | _ Beyond a doubt?_ Perhaps not in some minds. |
36312 | _ Mortal._"How do spirits materialize?" |
36312 | _ Q._ And what book did he bring, a great or little book? |
36312 | _ Q._ And what did he say to you when you made your mark? |
36312 | _ Q._ And when would he come then? |
36312 | _ Q._ But did he tell you the names of the other? |
36312 | _ Q._ But why did not you do so before? |
36312 | _ Q._ Can you look upon these and not knock them down? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did he get it out of your body? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did he not make you write your name? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did he show you in the book which was Osburn''s and which was Good''s mark? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did he tell you the names of them? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did he tell you where the nine lived? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did they do any hurt to you or threaten you? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did they write their names? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did you go into that room in your own person, and all the rest? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did you promise him this when he first spake to you? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did you see any other marks in his book? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did you see the man that morning? |
36312 | _ Q._ Did you write? |
36312 | _ Q._ Do not those cats suck you? |
36312 | _ Q._ Do not you see them? |
36312 | _ Q._ Have you seen Good and Osburn ride upon a pole? |
36312 | _ Q._ How did you go? |
36312 | _ Q._ How did you pinch them when you hurt them? |
36312 | _ Q._ How do you hurt those that you pinch? |
36312 | _ Q._ How far did you go-- to what town? |
36312 | _ Q._ How long ago was this? |
36312 | _ Q._ How many marks do you think there was? |
36312 | _ Q._ How many times did you go to Boston? |
36312 | _ Q._ What apparel do the women wear? |
36312 | _ Q._ What bird? |
36312 | _ Q._ What black man did you see? |
36312 | _ Q._ What black man is that? |
36312 | _ Q._ What clothes the little woman? |
36312 | _ Q._ What did he say to you then? |
36312 | _ Q._ What did he say you must do in that book? |
36312 | _ Q._ What did he say you must say? |
36312 | _ Q._ What did he then to you? |
36312 | _ Q._ What did these cats do? |
36312 | _ Q._ What did they say? |
36312 | _ Q._ What did this man say to you when he took hold of you? |
36312 | _ Q._ What did you promise him? |
36312 | _ Q._ What is the other thing that Goody Osburn hath? |
36312 | _ Q._ What kind of clothes hath she? |
36312 | _ Q._ What other creatures did you see? |
36312 | _ Q._ What other pretty things? |
36312 | _ Q._ What service do they expect from you? |
36312 | _ Q._ What should you have done with it? |
36312 | _ Q._ What sights did you see? |
36312 | _ Q._ What time of night? |
36312 | _ Q._ When did Good tell you she set her hand to the book? |
36312 | _ Q._ When did you see them? |
36312 | _ Q._ When? |
36312 | _ Q._ Where did you go? |
36312 | _ Q._ Where does it keep? |
36312 | _ Q._ Who came back with you again? |
36312 | _ Q._ Who did make you go? |
36312 | _ Q._ Who tells you so? |
36312 | _ Q._ Who were they that told you so? |
36312 | _ Second Examination, March 2, 1692._"_ Q._ What covenant did you make with that man that came to you? |
36312 | _ The Examination of Martha Carrier, May 31, 1692._"_ Q._ Abigail Williams, who hurts you? |
36312 | _ The only charge proved!_ What can that mean? |
36312 | _ These shadows_(?) |
36312 | and especially why perpetrate such agonizing cruelties upon bright, lovely, and promising children? |
36312 | have they done unto you?" |
36312 | her course of fraud and imposture? |
36312 | her frolic? |
36312 | or of acts called witchcraft of old? |
36312 | or was it such lifting of Margaret Rule as had been sworn to? |
36312 | see the devil?" |
6701 | Ah, what is this I hear,exclaimed the accursed sorceress,"just on my return home? |
6701 | Ah, what will become of me? 6701 And was it indeed true, that absurd fool Dorothea did not choose to be bled? |
6701 | And what did they want with her? |
6701 | But 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?" |
6701 | But,spake Diliana,"is it then possible for man to compel angels?" |
6701 | Child of my heart,cried I,"how cam''st thou by this blessing from God?" |
6701 | Did 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?" |
6701 | How can I take you? |
6701 | How is it possible? 6701 How now,"cried his Grace;"who the devil hath suffered you, Sidonia, to play the abbess over these virgins?" |
6701 | It 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? |
6701 | Keep it to yourself, woman,roared Duke Francis,"and tell us why you burned my father''s letter?" |
6701 | My Lord Duke, will you not step out of the circle? |
6701 | Oh, she would sooner have her tongue cut out than blab a word; but what was the receipt? |
6701 | See you not,he said,"the people are sick? |
6701 | Well,quoth I,"what hast thou got, my child?" |
6701 | What could ail him? |
6701 | What is it to thee, damned priest? 6701 What mean you?" |
6701 | What sayest thou now? |
6701 | What sort is your beer, old dame? |
6701 | What was the stocking for? 6701 What would his dear brother do, now that the proofs were in his hands?" |
6701 | What would that help? 6701 Who is it that you see no more?" |
6701 | Would she not do it for her health''s sake; or, at least, for the sake of peace? |
6701 | Would 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?" |
6701 | 13--''What, is it then permitted to the just to deal deceitfully? |
6701 | A second time his Grace asked--"Was it from fear?" |
6701 | After Dorothea had inquired about her sickness, she looked at the cat, and asked wonderingly, what was the meaning of such a strange dress? |
6701 | Ah, why has the Lord God placed such things before our eyes? |
6701 | Ambrosia advanced modestly to the grating, and asked the handsome knight,"What was his pleasure?" |
6701 | And doth not Martinus Lutherus say--''Who loves not wine, women, and song, Remains a fool his whole life long''? |
6701 | And have you all these riches?" |
6701 | And if ye are united, who can withstand you? |
6701 | And shall I sin with so great abhorrence of the flesh, and that not once but again and again without return even until death? |
6701 | And 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? |
6701 | And the angel said,"What will ye?" |
6701 | And what did they give their hard- earned gold for? |
6701 | And what is hate but repulsion or antipathy, whereby we are forced to fly or recoil from it? |
6701 | And what would my Elias do for her? |
6701 | And when I asked her why not? |
6701 | And when I replied,"How does your lordship know that the witch raised such an outcry against you?" |
6701 | And when Sidonia started back alarmed, he continued--"O Diliana, much loved and beautiful maiden, what does my queen here? |
6701 | And when my Brose stepped forward with a profound bow, Ludecke went on--"Was this the case about the dairy- mother? |
6701 | And when my Jobst enters with his sour face, holding his daughter by the hand, the Duke calls out--"Marry, brave vassal, why so sour? |
6701 | And wherefore weep? |
6701 | Anna Apenborg repeated this in the convent, and to Sidonia''s maid, upon which the witch sent for Anna, and asked was the report true? |
6701 | Are storms, then, so rare at this season of the year, that none save the foul fiend can cause them? |
6701 | Are there not rich enough for ye to kill? |
6701 | Are we not strong? |
6701 | Art thou for ever to put off these marriage thoughts?" |
6701 | Art thou not ashamed to accuse thy own kinswoman? |
6701 | Ask the elders here if ever better physic were found than the least grain of dust from the holy Schem Hamphorasch?" |
6701 | At 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?" |
6701 | At last Diliana exclaimed eagerly,"Ah; can it be possible to speak with the blessed angels, as the evil women speak with the devil? |
6701 | At 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?" |
6701 | At last he spake--"But if I seize her and burn her, will it be better with our race? |
6701 | At these words my own heart was melted; and when she ceased from speaking, I asked,"What art thou doing, my child?" |
6701 | At this hearing his Grace exclaimed--"Eh, George, where have you got the Malmsey? |
6701 | At this the abbess and the sisterhood listened and stared in wonder, then asked if the dear sister had fallen ill again? |
6701 | At this the virgin took courage, and answered,"Our gracious Prince would know how the evil spirit of my cousin Sidonia can be overcome?" |
6701 | Before long my poor child gave a loud cry, and cast herself upon the bench, weeping and wailing,"What has happened, what has happened?" |
6701 | But Duke Ulrich said,"Marry, dear brothers, what the devil is there to see here? |
6701 | But as to what more she had seen----"_ Hæc_.--"For God''s sake, sister, what more?" |
6701 | But could he hope for this if he were an unfaithful steward of the mysteries of God? |
6701 | But he answered, saying, Why had I come with her? |
6701 | But he answered, she should have no money; why did she not live at her farm- houses? |
6701 | But how could I sleep when she could not? |
6701 | But how to get it? |
6701 | But how would her death help these poor young virgins? |
6701 | But if an old hag like her maid was not safe from the shameless parson, how could she or any of them be safe? |
6701 | But old Paasch stood and shook his head; nevertheless when my child said,"Paasch, wherefore dost thou shake thy head?" |
6701 | But tears here, tears there, what will it help? |
6701 | But the brave Diliana seized hold of the young knight''s sword, crying--"For God''s sake, sir knight, what mean you? |
6701 | But 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?" |
6701 | But 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?" |
6701 | But the sheriff answered,"Not so; should you not understand it all when you think upon the eels?" |
6701 | But 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?" |
6701 | But they all remained silent and trembling, till at last the abbess murmured--"Is this done with your free- will, Dorothea?" |
6701 | But what are you all doing here by night in the churchyard?" |
6701 | But what happened as she returned to her lodgment in the Rüdenberg Street? |
6701 | But what happened? |
6701 | But when the executioner threw open the door, and bade the witch take off her shoes and enter backwards, she refused and scolded--"What? |
6701 | But where have ye read that any one was saved who had wantonly taken her own life and that of her father? |
6701 | But where is my beloved Diliana?" |
6701 | But which is the greatest sin of all that the holy and ever- blessed One committed?" |
6701 | But you talked of a second mode: what is it? |
6701 | But, calming herself in a moment, added,"Ah, good Anna, is it not human to err?--have you never been deceived yourself?" |
6701 | But, dear reader, how could I then have been able to recite Latin hymns, even had I known any? |
6701 | But, father, if you wish-- shall I summon him by the magnetic sign?" |
6701 | By day and by night her image floats before him, and wherefore should she be so hard and cruel- hearted towards him? |
6701 | Ca n''t people die but by witchcraft? |
6701 | Can we not do the business ourselves? |
6701 | Can we not right ourselves? |
6701 | Can ye not govern yourselves? |
6701 | Can you not look any one straight in the face?" |
6701 | Canst thou, too, defend the violation of the marriage vow?" |
6701 | Consul_ again shuddered, so that his beard wagged, and said,"What, dost thou indeed know Latin? |
6701 | Consul_ held a letter in his hand, and, after spitting thrice, he began thus,"Wilt thou still deny, thou stubborn witch? |
6701 | Consul_ whether every dying person, even a condemned criminal, had power to leave his goods and chattels to whomsoever he would? |
6701 | Could she give her change of a dollar?" |
6701 | Death, where is thy sting? |
6701 | Did St. Peter bewitch that covetous knave Ananias( Acts v.) when he fell down dead at his feet for having lied to the Holy Ghost? |
6701 | Did he think that witches grew up in the town like cabbages?" |
6701 | Did not I forbid thee to go up the mountain by night? |
6701 | Did not our Lord Christ pardon Mary Magdalene, who lived in open whoredom? |
6701 | Did she lie, or did she speak the truth?" |
6701 | Did the abbess know, perchance, of any one who would suit her as bridegroom? |
6701 | Diliana spake--"Grandmother, how did these things come to pass?" |
6701 | Do they belong to the chapter of noble virgins? |
6701 | Do they not teach you, and teach you from your youth up, that ye must have princes and priests? |
6701 | Do you hear this, Sidonia? |
6701 | Dost thou curse them daily, as is thy duty?" |
6701 | Eh, brothers, where is that written in the Scriptures? |
6701 | Eh, children? |
6701 | Eh?" |
6701 | Et ego peccarem cum quavis detestatione carnis, et non semel, sed iterum atque iterum sine reversione usque ad mortem? |
6701 | For his Majesty inquired how far it was to Swine, and whether there was still much foreign soldiery there? |
6701 | For 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?" |
6701 | For what are his riches but your sweat and blood, if ye reflect on it; and is it a sin to take your own? |
6701 | For what cause had she forced herself into the sub- prioret?" |
6701 | For what is love but attraction or sympathy towards some object, whereby we desire to blend with it? |
6701 | Had any man ever heard the like? |
6701 | Had not sister Dorothea heard----"_ Hæc._--"No; for God''s sake, what? |
6701 | Had she a good conscience wherefore should she do it? |
6701 | Had she not freely perilled her life for his Grace? |
6701 | Had she not herself said, she would pray the porter to death?" |
6701 | Had they never heard how the people of Anklam had, in former times, killed their rulers and governors, and then did justice to themselves? |
6701 | Has your Highness forgotten all history? |
6701 | Hath the devil possessed you, Jobst, in earnest? |
6701 | Have patience, sir knight; why do you press me for a promise when you have heard my resolve?" |
6701 | He came to know whether there was a witch, perchance, also in Marienfliess?" |
6701 | He heaved a deep sigh, and said,"Mary, Mary, is it thus I must meet thee again?" |
6701 | He meant whether she had ever played the wanton with Satan, and known him carnally? |
6701 | Hell, where is thy victory? |
6701 | Here 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? |
6701 | Hereupon I answered that I had not indeed read any such book( for say, who can read all that fools write? |
6701 | Hereupon 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? |
6701 | Hereupon she looked towards me, and said,"Father, shall I tell?" |
6701 | How came so much amber on the Streckelberg? |
6701 | How can I tell now of the poor widow''s screams and tears? |
6701 | How could a bishop be so sunk in superstition? |
6701 | How could he have patience longer? |
6701 | How could it be done? |
6701 | How could she believe a knave who had already deceived his own gracious Prince? |
6701 | How could she commit such a horrible sacrilege? |
6701 | How could she remember? |
6701 | How could she right such matters? |
6701 | How could the all- merciful God forgive this to the vilest of women? |
6701 | How did it happen? |
6701 | How did the man get it? |
6701 | How large will the grapes then be?" |
6701 | How then could she have wished to do her such grievous harm? |
6701 | How, for instance, could this account for the deeply demoniacal nature of old Lizzie Kolken as exhibited in the following pages? |
6701 | How, then, would he hear them? |
6701 | How? |
6701 | However, Jobst and the old dairy- woman helped him up as best he could, and asked what ailed him? |
6701 | I called to her from my bed,"Dear child, wilt thou then never cease? |
6701 | I drew near to her and pulled the apron from her face, saying,"Wilt thou then again kill me with grief?" |
6701 | I had often asked,"Whence comes all this blessed bread? |
6701 | I motioned him to stop, and asked why he thus ran from me his confessor? |
6701 | I saw this for awhile with many sighs, but spake not a word( for, dear reader, what could I say?) |
6701 | I stepped up to him, and asked what had come to the people? |
6701 | I still did as though I had seen naught, and said,"Wherefore, dear child, dost thou suffer such torment?" |
6701 | I then implored him to tell me the truth, and what horrid suspicion had arisen against me in the parish? |
6701 | I will do it not, and who else will? |
6701 | If I do take a sleeping draught after the fatigues of the day-- tell me, what does that matter to this impudent devil? |
6701 | If even you succeeded in seizing her, how would this help? |
6701 | Immediately after, the poor possessed one turned herself on the couch, sighed, opened her eyes, and asked,"Where am I?" |
6701 | Is it not folly to suppose that the blessed angels could be compelled by influences from plants and stones?" |
6701 | Is it not so?" |
6701 | Is it not strange that my gracious Prince should just now come and demand the proof of my purity? |
6701 | Is it not true, dear cousin? |
6701 | Is it not true, dear cousin?" |
6701 | Is it true that Satan appeared to thee on the Streckelberg in the likeness of a hairy giant?" |
6701 | Is it true that thou hadst a spirit called_ Disidæmonia,_ who re- baptized thee and carnally knew thee? |
6701 | Is it true that thou hast done all manner of mischief to the cattle? |
6701 | Is it true that thou hast fallen off from the living God and given thyself up to Satan? |
6701 | Is my whole ancient race to perish? |
6701 | Is the worthy and upright man really dead? |
6701 | Is this true or not? |
6701 | Jobst was right: was the proud oak the worse because a rotten branch was lopped off? |
6701 | Know you not that God gives many signs to His people, and speaks in wonders? |
6701 | Let his Grace ask the doctors did it require witchcraft to give a man the rheumatism, who sat in a draught of air?" |
6701 | Ludecke continued--"Were there more witches in the place beside the dairy- mother?" |
6701 | May I dare to ask the angel?" |
6701 | Meanwhile, the Duke and Dr. Joel come up with my worthy godfather, stop him, and ask what the knight, Jobst Bork, was saying to him? |
6701 | Must she then do his cattle a mischief? |
6701 | My Jobst, however, will not remain; and Diliana asks,"What his Grace will do about Wolde?" |
6701 | My 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? |
6701 | My poor child turned pale as a corpse, and asked in amaze what had come to her? |
6701 | My torment would then have endured but for a moment, but now it will last as long as I live?" |
6701 | Nevertheless, they were quiet enough as we drove past, albeit some few cried,"How can it be, how can it be?" |
6701 | Now, 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?" |
6701 | Now, dear reader, what could I say, save my hearty good- will? |
6701 | Now, what blood had he ever shed, except the blood of accursed witches? |
6701 | O Lord Jesu, who hast said,''What man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone?'' |
6701 | O heaven, how is it possible?" |
6701 | Peter?" |
6701 | Quid? |
6701 | Quomodo clementissimus Deus hoc sceleratissima ignoscere posset? |
6701 | Reverend Abraham, must I teach you Scripture? |
6701 | Say, reverend Abraham, which is the greater sin, to commit whoredom, or to take the lives of two persons?" |
6701 | Shall I run and call her?" |
6701 | Shall not we then drink of the cup which our heavenly Father hath prepared for us?" |
6701 | Shall she try it with the porter?" |
6701 | She asked,"Who was to make up their graves and plant flowers on them? |
6701 | She 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?" |
6701 | She had a husband, and four innocent little children likewise; who would take care of them now?" |
6701 | She must have had sponsors; who were they? |
6701 | She wept, wrung her hands-- for God''s sake what could she do? |
6701 | Sidonia now screamed with rage--"What wants this silly varlet here, this beardless young profligate? |
6701 | So 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? |
6701 | So 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?" |
6701 | Some cried out,"Is that the witch?" |
6701 | Some 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? |
6701 | Speak, Anna Apenborg, whom dost thou name for an abbess, my much- loved sister?" |
6701 | Speak, sister Dorothea, what was your prayer?" |
6701 | Speak, then; alas, will none speak?" |
6701 | Speak-- how hath the Rabbi Akkiva sworn?" |
6701 | Speak-- what saith the Talmud? |
6701 | Suppose you ask Anna Apenborg to take it?" |
6701 | The 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?" |
6701 | The 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? |
6701 | The question was not what good she had done to the poor, but_ wherewithal_ she had done it? |
6701 | Then Duke Philip asked Dr. Cramer,"What he thought of the matter as_ theologus_?" |
6701 | Then Duke Philip asked the knight if he had accused Sidonia of the witchcraft, and what had she answered? |
6701 | Then Duke Philip turned to another--"How say you, brother-- mayhap there is hope of an heir to Wolgast?" |
6701 | Then Jobst related all that had happened, and asked had he acted rightly? |
6701 | Then Sidonia asked--"Have they aught to say against it? |
6701 | Then he patted her cheek, and again asked,"_ Sed quoenam es, et unde venis_?" |
6701 | Then he rose up again and spake:"I ask you, for the last time, Sidonia von Bork, do you confess yourself guilty or not?" |
6701 | Then in German he added:--"Yet the Lord is my light, of whom then shall I be afraid? |
6701 | Then 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? |
6701 | Then 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? |
6701 | Then 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? |
6701 | They thus sat and toyed awhile, till the young lord again perceived me, and said,"What say you thereto? |
6701 | Think you he forgot her? |
6701 | This angered me sore, and I said to her,"Why wast thou not at church? |
6701 | This message gave me good courage, and I asked the fellow whether he also had come to bear witness against my poor child? |
6701 | This rejoiced my young noble heartily, and he kissed the little hands and lamented over her foot--"And was it much hurt? |
6701 | This, at length, vexed the sheriff, who asked him whither they should not drive back again, seeing that night was coming on? |
6701 | Thou canst see through the stomach?" |
6701 | Thou forbadst him to approach thee until summoned; and now where could be a greater proof of his love than in having obeyed thee?" |
6701 | Thus the argument and strife went on, till Jobst at last cried out sharply,"Diliana, dost thou esteem the fifth commandment? |
6701 | Truly the whole convocation shuddered at the sight, but Bishop Francis was the first to speak--"And this is no devil''s work?" |
6701 | Upon the seventh commandment, to the great scandal of the entire convent?" |
6701 | Upon which he sprang from the coach, advanced closer, and asked,"What is it, poor girls? |
6701 | Was he, then, really such an object of abhorrence to her, such a fire in her eyes? |
6701 | Was she making a fool of him? |
6701 | Was she therefore wrong or right? |
6701 | Was she, in truth, an evil witch?" |
6701 | Was that all they could do--_pray_ the mighty council, forsooth, to lower the tax? |
6701 | What can the poor abbess do? |
6701 | What chaste maiden would ever bathe in the sea? |
6701 | What could my Jobst do? |
6701 | What devil had invented this story? |
6701 | What did he want from him? |
6701 | What did people mean coming with begging prayers for the devil''s brood? |
6701 | What did the dear sister think on the matter?" |
6701 | What did they want with parsons? |
6701 | What didst thou want on the mountain by night?" |
6701 | What had she done to the convent porter?" |
6701 | What is the greatest sin He has committed?" |
6701 | What is this you mean to do with us?" |
6701 | What right had prince, minister, or council to skin a people? |
6701 | What say our fathers of blessed memory?" |
6701 | What say ye, brave Jobst? |
6701 | What should I bleed you for? |
6701 | What should I confess, you fool? |
6701 | What think you this devil''s whore then did? |
6701 | What thinkest thou?" |
6701 | What was that matter concerning the priest which caused you to complain of him to our princely consistorium?" |
6701 | What was to be done now? |
6701 | What was to be done? |
6701 | What wouldst thou know further?" |
6701 | What!--was she to bear this insolence? |
6701 | What, then, had she done besides? |
6701 | What, then, will it not be when Messias comes? |
6701 | When and where had it been ever heard that one person could pray another to death? |
6701 | When did you hear any testimony from me against this virtuous maiden? |
6701 | When he ended, all the Borks present screamed with horror, and gathered round him:"And was it not possible yet to change this sentence?" |
6701 | When 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? |
6701 | Where could she meet with a braver husband?" |
6701 | Where didst thou learn the Latin?" |
6701 | Where hath the devil hid him? |
6701 | Where have you heard that the angels of God seek help and shelter from the devil, as you have done here? |
6701 | Where is his princely Highness at this time? |
6701 | Where is it said in your Scriptures that one man can pray another to death? |
6701 | Where is the carl with the deep bass voice? |
6701 | Where is your justice, sir knight-- your honour? |
6701 | Wherefore are we the selected people, if we could not spoil the children of Edom? |
6701 | Wherefore can ye not be Like- dealers also? |
6701 | Wherefore is the Duke such a goose? |
6701 | Wherefore she took me aside: What was to be done? |
6701 | Whereupon he springs to the waggon, and asks with wonder,"Ussel, what brings thee here?" |
6701 | Whereupon she asked again--"Grandmother, art thou happy?" |
6701 | Whereupon she covered her face with her hands, and moaned,"Alas, father, wherefore was I not burned here? |
6701 | Whereupon the doctor spoke--"Eh? |
6701 | Whether she had perceived that_ Rea_ had a familiar spirit, and in what shape? |
6701 | Whether, peradventure, he also believed that my daughter had bewitched her little godchild? |
6701 | Who can keep order and decorum so well throughout the convent?" |
6701 | Who could this be at that midnight hour, but the devil bodily himself?" |
6701 | Who is he like who reads only in the Scripture, and not in the Talmud? |
6701 | Who is the wiser now, I wonder-- eh?" |
6701 | Who 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?" |
6701 | Why did she blush again? |
6701 | Why did she hesitate? |
6701 | Why do you not scrape diligently; shall I give you a receipt?" |
6701 | Why had she threatened? |
6701 | Why should we go begging to a council? |
6701 | Why, then, had she been so kind to her formerly, and kept her like a sister, through the worst of the famine? |
6701 | Will burning her break the spell? |
6701 | Will she not let him go now, that he may pray? |
6701 | Will ye follow me? |
6701 | Will you and your little daughter, this virgin, not deliver me and my ancient race from so great and terrible a foe? |
6701 | Will you die, if Satan often takes up his dwelling- place in your heart?" |
6701 | Wilt Thou slay us, as Thou didst the first- born of Egypt? |
6701 | Wilt thou buy a little grain too-- eh? |
6701 | Wilt thou even yet deny? |
6701 | Woe is me, ruthless father, what have I done? |
6701 | Would he not take a glass of mead, or even water? |
6701 | Would not their comrades join?" |
6701 | Would that do?" |
6701 | Would 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? |
6701 | Would they consent to this, out of great charity and mercy to the candidate David? |
6701 | Yet, when did men, till now, say that these signs were of the devil alone, and persecute and destroy helpless women by reason of them? |
6701 | Your Highness must pardon my mirth; but who could help it? |
6701 | [ Footnote: In tractat Kethuvoth] But who will_ not_ partake these blessings?" |

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

6700 | _ Hic_.--"But what was his name? |
6700 | _ Hic_.--"Do you compare yourself with Abraham? |
6700 | _ Hic_.--"Had that accursed Catholic nun then betrayed him? |

6700 | _ Hic_.--"Who dared to say so? |
6700 | _ Hæc._--"Had she any instances to bring forward; what had they done?" |
6700 | _ Hæc_( murmuring):--"Why should health from God estrange thee? |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"But had she anything else to tell her-- what had she come for?" |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"But if the priest has to reprimand you publicly from the pulpit?" |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"But will the dear sister promise not to breathe it to mortal? |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"Eh? |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"How so? |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"No doubt-- but why did she call the convent a Sodom and Gomorrah? |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"No matter-- but did she not hear a great ringing of bells? |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"Was it anything to eat or drink?" |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"Was she asking the fool what he ate? |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"What crime wast thou suspected of, girl, to be condemned to so terrible a death?" |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"What did she mean, then, by the Sodom and Gomorrah?" |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"What did she mean, then, by this knitting-- to talk to her so-- the lady of castles and lands?" |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"What was she talking about? |
6700 | _ Hæc_.--"Why, what would you do to him?" |
6700 | _ Illa_( weeping).--"What did he think of her, that she should love a common groom? |
6700 | _ Illa_, weeping.--"Where can I go? |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"A good heart was all very well, but what could it do without respect? |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"Alas, gracious Prince, of what use will it be to me, when I have no one to teach me how to play?" |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"But what could she say? |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"But will the lady betray me?" |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"Gracious Prince, what is a poor count''s daughter to your princely Highness? |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"He must send away all the bystanders first; did he not see how they all stood round, with their mouths open from wonder?" |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"Nonsense, girl; who could I repeat it to? |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"Was he a heathen or a true Christian?" |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"Was he afraid to disgrace Sidonia because she was his kinswoman? |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"What did the old nun come for? |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"What is it? |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"What was unjust? |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"Who was her friend? |
6700 | _ Illa_.--"Yes; but what would she give her? |
6700 | _ Ille._--"What coin could it be, and wherefore did it vex him?" |
6700 | _ Ille._--"What did he want with the oblation- cloth?" |
6700 | _ Ille_.-"No, no; that would scarcely answer; but where did the fellow live?" |
6700 | _ Ille_.-"Where is that tailor churl who had come to her in the morning?" |
6700 | _ Ille_.-"Who was his father?" |
6700 | _ Ille_.--"Ah, then, he kept the keys of the castle?" |
6700 | _ Ille_.--"But if her child is indeed dying, would she send for the devil to attend him in his last moments? |
6700 | _ Ille_.--"Can you prove that Abraham had the witness of Christ?" |
6700 | _ Ille_.--"Did she not know, then, what ailed him? |
6700 | _ Ille_.--"God forgive thee thy sins; did I not take thee back as my son, and strive to correct thee as a true and loving father? |
6700 | _ Ille_.--"Had he yet married that unfortunate Sidonia, who he observed, to his surprise, was still with him?" |
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_.--"Matters were not so bad as he thought; besides, why can not the people defend themselves, and take care of their own skin?" |
6700 | _ Ille_.--"Then let his lordship produce his charter; if he had got one, why not show it?" |
6700 | _ Ille_.--"Were any of the grooms in the stable lately? |
6700 | _ Ille_.--"What did his lordship mean? |
6700 | _ Ille_.--"What did this primitive doctrine contain?" |
6700 | _ Ille_.--"What would become of her, then, when he joined the army?" |
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?" |
6700 | a guest!--and who could it be?" |
6700 | am I to poke under my bed to see if any one is hiding there? |
6700 | and castles and towns all round the land?" |
6700 | and had she not also made every man in the castle that approached her mad for love of her, all by her diabolical conduct? |
6700 | and how could she ever hope to turn to God and lead a new life with such an infamous partner? |
6700 | and how did she come into the cellar? |
6700 | and if that old proser, meaning the Duchess, looked always as sour? |
6700 | and were it not rather some work of the bodily Satan himself? |
6700 | and what had happened since they parted?" |
6700 | and why dost thou wish me to be only a simple noble? |
6700 | and why should Konnemann dare to interfere with him?" |
6700 | and would her Grace ever consent? |
6700 | are you a heathen? |
6700 | art Thou come at last?" |
6700 | art thou a freethinker?" |
6700 | did she never allow a feast or a dance? |
6700 | did she wear her nun''s dress in bed? |
6700 | does it take away their strength?" |
6700 | exclaimed a voice,"is that old damned Catholic witch at her mummeries, and burning my good wax candles all for nothing?" |
6700 | for if she encountered Sidonia, what could she expect from her but the bitterest death? |
6700 | for, if the master lies, are the servants to be punished if they believe him? |
6700 | good Marcus, dost thou begin again on that old theme which roused my wrath so lately, and made me fall into that peril? |
6700 | had Clara herself a lover? |
6700 | has the good- for- nothing old churl written this? |
6700 | have I not long ago given thee thy right name? |
6700 | he stepped slowly towards her out of the crowd, and asked what was her pleasure? |
6700 | how can that be?" |
6700 | how comest thou in the merchant vessel?" |
6700 | how could the chaste sister bring her lips to utter such words?" |
6700 | how? |
6700 | is it possible? |
6700 | is it thus I find thee?" |
6700 | is this maiden, then, Sidonia?" |
6700 | must thy chatter help to make us more melancholy?" |
6700 | my treasure!--where hast thou been so long, my sugar- morsel? |
6700 | no one had called her a witch before; how could she bewitch them? |
6700 | or do you believe in anything?" |
6700 | or had he seen any one go by the window?" |
6700 | or hast thou not drunk enough yet?" |
6700 | or was she not rather making a mock of him, and the whole convent, by her pretended sickness?" |
6700 | she exclaimed,"you desire more kisses? |
6700 | she knew now what the wanton had come there for; but would he kill his mother? |
6700 | she was sick, sick unto death-- would he not pray for her? |
6700 | she whispered, while her whole frame trembled,"what have I foolishly said? |
6700 | some of you: who commenced this tavern broil? |
6700 | the whole world was a Sodom and Gomorrah, why, then, not the convent, since it lay in the world? |
6700 | then he took her little hand, kissed it, and bedewed it with his tears, still repeating,"Sidonia, dearest Sidonia, have you come to nursetend me?" |
6700 | then you know that the Hebrew word for_ name_ is_ Shem_?" |
6700 | thou common horse- jockey-- thou low- born varlet-- is it thus thou bringest disgrace upon a maiden of the noblest house in Pomerania? |
6700 | thou damned peasant, thinkest thou we have no bley?" |
6700 | thou false serpent-- thou accursed above all the generations of vipers-- how wilt thou escape eternal damnation?" |
6700 | thou godless son, hast thou this noble maiden with thee yet? |
6700 | thou insolent knave, dost thou dare to compare thy feudal lord to a brute?" |
6700 | thou old, lean hag-- so thou wilt spin no flax? |
6700 | thou proud wanton, didst thou not run after me like a common street- girl? |
6700 | uncle,"said her Grace,"a truce to such folly; do you not know what St. Paul says--''Let the widows abide even as I''?" |
6700 | unless his mistress sat by his bedside? |
6700 | was he in love? |
6700 | was that a cell for a lady of her degree? |
6700 | was there ever such a tyrant as her husband to any one, but especially to his own born children? |
6700 | what are ye all at here?" |
6700 | what did she mean by that? |
6700 | what did she mean?" |
6700 | what has she beheld? |
6700 | what is it? |
6700 | what is the meaning of that? |
6700 | what must I live to hear? |
6700 | what will become of the poor lamb? |
6700 | what? |
6700 | where should they bring her to?" |
6700 | wherefore not? |
6700 | who are you? |
6700 | who could have thought it? |
6700 | who has murdered my darling child?" |
6700 | who will hang us now? |
6700 | why? |
6700 | will he come? |
6700 | will he come?" |
6700 | will it last, think you, if I now bestow thy life on thee?" |
6700 | will not the nobles of Pomerania stand by their Prince? |
6700 | will ye steal again? |
6700 | will you not dance?" |
6700 | you have seen my Adam in Treptow; what think you now of Eve? |
