_Phoebe._ You must, Nancy, or some body 'll come and catch us. Here, I'll pull you out. [_Tugs at_ Nancy's _arms, and drags her out, groaning._ _Nancy._ Here I am out, but I can't undouble. I'll have to go home on all-fours like a cat. Oh! oh! _Phoebe._ Give me your hands and I'll pull you up. Think you 'tis witchcraft, Nancy? _Nancy._ I know 'tis. 'Tis Goody Bishop in her fine silk hood afflicts me. Oh, massy! _Phoebe._ There, you are up, Nancy. _Nancy._ I ain't half undoubled. _Phoebe._ You can walk so, can't you, Nancy? Oh, come, quick! I think I hear somebody on the stairs. (_Catches up her doll and seizes_ Nancy's _hand._) Quick! quick! _Nancy._ I tell ye I can't go quick; I ain't undoubled enough. Devil take Goody Bishop! [_Exit, hobbling and bent almost double,_ Phoebe _urging her along. Curtain falls._ |
