"What an idea your mother has had," said the old maid, taking her niece's other arm, "to put herself in the company of that reprobate woman!" "Oh, aunt, a woman who is the glory of Brittany!" "The shame, my dear. Mind that you don't fawn upon her in that way." "Mademoiselle Charlotte is right," said Calyste; "you are not just." "Oh, you!" replied Mademoiselle de Pen-Hoel, "she has bewitched you."
"Always these machines.... Is that all you can talk about? It would seem that you are bewitched by these machines, which we have not seen none of us!" "It was a machine which brought you here," Buck observed. "Go you back and look upon the spaceship and remember, Deklay.
Just forget all this I've been saying, and go on as before. Thank you, boys! thank you!" and with a grasp of the two hands extended to him, he strode away along the path already worn by his own restless feet. "It's done him good, and I'm glad of that; but I'd like to see the little baggage that bewitched the poor old boy, wouldn't you, Phil?" "Hush! here's Flint."
"Why, ay, Master Chiffinch," said Tom; "and so I am thinking doth this honest man here, who need not have heard quite so much of your counsel, an it had been your will." "I am bewitched this morning," said Chiffinch to himself, "or else the champagne runs in my head still.
If this faith-healing does not succeed, a stronger wizard than he must have bewitched the patient; he will consult the spirits. To that end he goes to his Minggah, a tree or stone more often a tree, only the very greatest wirreenuns have stones, which are called Goomah where his own and any spirits friendly towards him may dwell.
I do not believe that you have bewitched him: you have too good a face and air for that and for the matter of the paternoster I do not value it at a straw.

"Why, child," he said, "I can't see anyone else but you when we are in the same room together my faculty of observation has deserted me. I see every movement you make, I feel every thought you think; you have bewitched me! Your face comes between me and my work; you will quite ruin my career. How can I go back to my tiresome boys and my old friends?" "Ah, I don't want to do THAT!" said Maud.
Under the spell of this enchantment, the careless boy had passed into the reflective man. Stories are told of knights errant, in the times of Merlin and the good King Arthur, who, while ranging the world in quest of adventures, were bewitched by lovely wood fairies or were lulled into delicious slumber by some syren's song, or were shut up in pleasant durance in enchanted castles.
I marvelled where you had got that sort of face. When you came on me in Hay Lane last night, I thought unaccountably of fairy tales, and had half a mind to demand whether you had bewitched my horse: I am not sure yet. Who are your parents?"
