_Olive._ Oh, Ann, I hurt thee? _Ann._ There is a flock of yellow birds around her head. [Olive _moves her head involuntarily, and looks up._ _Afflicted Girls._ See her look at them! _Hathorne._ What say you to that, Olive? _Olive._ I did not see them. _Hathorne._ Ann Hutchins, did you see this maid walking in the wood with a black man last week? _Ann._ Yes, your worship. _Hathorne._ How did he go? _Ann._ In black clothes, and he had white hair. _Hathorne._ How went the accused? _Ann._ She went in her flowered petticoat, and the flowers stood out, and smelt like real ones; her kerchief shone like a cobweb in the grass in the morning, and gold sparks flew out of her hair. Goody Corey fixed her up so with her devilish arts to trap Paul Bayley. |
