Martha _is led to one side._

_Martha._ Be of good cheer, dear child.

_Giles._ Yes, be not afraid of them, lass; thy father is here.

_Hathorne._ Silence! Olive Corey, why do you so afflict these other
maids?

_Olive._ I do not, your worship.

_Ann._ She is looking at me. Oh, bid her look away, or she will
kill me!

_Olive._ Oh, Ann, I do not! What mean you, dear Ann?

_Hathorne._ I charge you, Olive Corey, keep your eyes upon the
floor.

_Giles._ Look where you please, lass, and thy old father will
uphold thee in it; and I only wish your blue eyes could shoot pins
into the lying hussies.

_Hathorne._ Goodman, an ye disturb the peace again, ye shall be
removed from court. Ann Hutchins, you have seen this maid hurt you?

_Ann._ Many a time she hath hurt me nigh to death.
