Tom felt a little puzzled by Uncle Richard's language, but he only said, "Yes, of course," and did not quite understand why Master Pete Warboys, who seemed to be as objectionable a young cub as ever inhabited a pleasant country village, should be allowed to go unpunished.
Who was it, then, if it wasn't your fine noo cousin?" Tom said nothing, but thought of the hard green pears Sam had thrown at Pete Warboys. "Just you look here, Master Tom," continued the gardener, leading the way to the wall. "There's where one was tore off, and a big bit o' shoot as took two year to grow, fine fruit-bearing wood, but he off with it.
Of course in the play they were all, before the curtain fell, convinced of their error. The authors, who no doubt catered to public sentiment, were not as earnest as the divines of their day, but they were almost as superstitious. Heywood showed himself in another work, The Hierarchie of the Blessed Angels, a sincere believer in witchcraft and backed his belief by the Warboys case.
Does old Mother Warboys say I am going to hold wizards' sabbaths up in the top storey, and ride round on the sails o' windy nights?"
Just then one of the women from the next cottages came out and curtseyed to them. "Don't take any notice of what she says, sir. She's a bit put out to-day." "So it seems," said Uncle Richard. "Let me see, Mrs Deane, isn't it?" "Yes, sir," said the woman, smiling. "You can tell me then where is Pete Warboys?" The old woman literally shrieked out "Let her say a word if she dares. She'd better.
Cotta says six years ago and the Northampton trials were in 1612, four years before. It is quite possible, however, that Mistress Belcher began to be afflicted in 1610. One of these was Sir Gilbert Pickering of Tichmarsh, almost certainly the Gilbert Pickering mentioned as an uncle of the Throckmorton children at Warboys. See above, pp. 47-48.
"Yes, I see, David," said Tom, nodding his head. "It's him as has got the friends the young accident not Pete. Say, Master Tom?" "Yes." "If Pete Warboys dies " "Hush! don't talk about it," cried Tom in horror. "Oh, cert'ny not, sir, if you don't wish me to. May I talk about the dog?"
"Oh no, it's of no use. I gave him an awful thrashing though." "I wish you'd give him ten times as much, my lad a wagabone. It was Pete Warboys, wasn't it?" "Oh, I don't know; I couldn't tell. It was like something in a long sack kicking about there. I hit him nearly every time." "Well, that's something, sir. Do him more good than a peck out o' our apples. Better for his morials.
There was a witch panic and the justices of the peace scurried hither and thither till they had fourteen witches locked up in Northampton. When the trial came off at Northampton, Master Avery was the hero. He re-enacted the rôle of the Throckmorton children at Warboys with great success. When he came to court he came in a "coch" he was at once stricken with convulsions.
He was not in the least afraid, but his face felt flushed, and there was a curious tingling in the nerves which made him picture a scene in the garden, in which he was chasing Pete Warboys round and round, getting a cut at him with the stick from time to time, and at last making him turn at bay, when a desperate fight ensued.
