Anne Thorne swore that she was tormented exceedingly with cats, and that all the cats had the face and voice of the witch.
As far as surface indications were concerned nothing happened. Expectation was turned back on itself. Absolute confidence in Plant's removal and criminal conviction gave place to scepticism and doubt, finally to utter disbelief. And since Thorne had succeeded in arousing a real faith and enthusiasm, the reaction was by so much the stronger.
An antiquated grate that would hold about a hundred weight of coal, had been stuck on the hearth, by Mr Thorne's father. This hearth had of course been intended for the consumption of wood fagots, and the iron dogs for the purpose were still standing, though half buried in the masonry of the grate. Miss Thorne was very anxious to revert to the dogs.
"Yes, she's your father's wife, isn't she?" said Thorne, with a leer. "Yes, but I acknowledge no such relationship as you suggest." "She's your step-mother, whatever you say."

"Why, yes, you locoed cavalryman." "Say, what's happened to you? It can't be those clothes and a little bronze on your face.... Dick, you're older you've changed. You're not so thickly built.
