"But hear me," cried Potts, "I have my own suspicions, also, nay, more than suspicions." "If ye're shure, yo dunna want me," said Jennet. "But I want a witness," pursued Potts, "and if you'll serve as one " "Whot'll ye gi' me?" said Jennet. "Whatever you like," rejoined Potts. "Only name the sum. So you can prove the practice of witchcraft against Mistress Nutter eh?" Jennet nodded.
When Sturk met Nutter, he, being of superior stature, looked over his head at distant objects: and when Nutter encountered Sturk, the little gentleman's dark face grew instantaneously darker first a shade then another shadow then the blackness of thunder overspread it; and not only did he speak not a word to Sturk, but seldom opened his lips, while that gentleman remained in the room.
Thy daughter or another, it matters not but not Jennet." "I embrace the alternative," cried Mistress Nutter. "It must be done upon the instant," said the voice. "It shall be," replied Mistress Nutter. And, stretching her arm in the direction of the mansion, she called in a loud imperious voice, "Dorothy Assheton, come hither!"
"She is unused to these late hours, poor child," said Alizon. "Some one must be found to take her home." "You need not go far in search of a convoy," said Potts, who had been hovering about, and now stepped up; "I am going to the Dragon myself, and shall be happy to take charge of her." "You are over-officious, sir," rejoined Mistress Nutter, coldly; "when we need your assistance we will ask it.
See, she opens her eyes." Dorothy looked round wildly for a moment, and then pointing her finger at Alizon, said "She has bewitched me." "Poor thing! she rambles," observed Mistress Nutter to Adam Whitworth, who, with the other serving-men, stared aghast at the accusation; "she has been scared out of her senses by some fearful sight.

"What brings you here, Mother Chattox?" exclaimed the lady, closing the door.
I got across the park-wall, over the quarry, and so down by the stream at Coyles, and on to the road near my house. No one was in sight, so I walked down to Chapelizod to show myself.

I asked him if Nutter was in the club, and he said no nor at home, he believed, for his boy had seen him more than half-an-hour ago leave his hall door, dressed for the road.
I am quite sure of it; and you shall see how nicely I can make the matter out. As thus. Mistress Nutter is certain to die soon such a wicked woman cannot live long. Don't be angry with me for calling her wicked, Richard; but you know I never can forget her unhallowed proceedings in the convent church at Whalley, where I was so nearly becoming a witch myself.
Alice Nutter must have given him some potent counter-charm." "He comes to deliver me," cried Alizon. "Richard!" And she arose, and would have flown to the window, but Mother Demdike waved her staff over her, and rooted her to the ground. "Stay there till I require thee," chuckled the hag, moving, with ponderous footsteps, to the door.
