Out came Meg, with gray horsehair hanging about her face, a red and black robe, a staff, and cabalistic signs upon her cloak. Hugo demanded a potion to make Zara adore him, and one to destroy Roderigo.
By this means I hope to induce her mental faculties to resume their normal functions." Mrs. Rogers accepted this proposal with calmness and a confidence in the physician that was admirable. Old Will trembled with nervous excitement, and was so "flustered" by the importance of the experiment that Dr. Hoyt decided to give him a quieting potion.
"A love potion rarely has any effect, and never but on women who have never before loved.

"Is there any way of destroying an enemy at a distance?" "Certainly," said the witch.
