In the parlour and kitchen sat Mrs Clowes, warmly enveloped, holding the reins with her right hand and a shabby, paper-covered book in her left hand. The book was the celebrated play, The Gamester, and Mrs Clowes was studying therein the rôle of Dulcibel.
Uncle Robie's true reason for going, however, was that the jailer in Boston was an old friend of his, and he wished to speak a secret word to him that might insure Dulcibel kinder treatment than was usually given in Boston jail to any alleged transgressor. Mistress Ann Putnam's Fair Warning. In the course of the next day the removal of the three prisoners became known to everybody.
One curious thing about it was that Dulcibel had neither a saddle nor a bridle to ride with. She thought this was very strange; but her mother told her that witches always rode in that manner. Here the two ministers of Salem, Rev. Master Parris and Rev. Master Noyes, said that this was undeniably true, that it was a curious fact that witches never used saddles nor bridles.
"Is that the way you generally ride, Dulcibel?" asked the young man smiling. "It all comes from starting without my riding whip," replied the girl. "Oh, do stop!" she continued to the horse who now on the level again, began sidling and curveting. "Give me that switch of yours, Jethro. Now, you shall see a miracle."
Antipas, to the general surprise of the villagers had proved to be an excellent servant, notwithstanding his insanity. Only on training days and other periods of excitement, did his insanity obtrude itself. At all other times he seemed to be a cheerful, simple-hearted, and very capable and industrious "hand." To Dulcibel, as was natural, Antipas always manifested the greatest devotion.
The Salem keeper, Uncle Robie, true to his accustomed plan of action, received Master Raymond very gruffly; but after he had got rid of the other professionals, he had a good long talk, and made his cell quite comfortable for him. He also took him in to visit Antipas, who was delighted to see him, and also to hear that Mistress Dulcibel, was quite comfortably lodged with Keeper Arnold.
After playing with the canary for a little while, Dulcibel sighed and put him back in his cage, hearing a knock at the front door of the cottage. And she had just turned from the cage to take a seat, when the door opened and two persons entered. "I am glad to see you, friends," she said calmly, inviting them to be seated.
And then the important ceremony being duly gone through he pronounced Master Ellis Raymond and Mistress Dulcibel Burton man and wife. The Captain being allowed by Master Raymond to take the first kiss, as acting in the place of the bride's father. "No, not a penny!" said the minister, closing his hand against the golden pieces that the groom held out to him.
"Yes and if a few or many doses of mustard will prevent my being arrested as a witch, which would put it entirely out of my power to aid Dulcibel in her affliction and perhaps turn some of the "afflicted" girls over to her side, in case she has to stand a trial for her life I shall certainly swallow them with as much grace as if they were so many spoonfuls of honey.
There are plenty of them around in all ages of the world, and they generally glory in their shame. Of course brother Thomas did not enjoy very much my mean opinion of his conduct and as for sister Ann, she has never forgiven me, and never will." "And so you think she hates Dulcibel, mainly because you love her?" "That is about the shape of it," said Master Putnam drily.
