(wildly).
Aye, 'tis true! My child has gone from me! She is bewitched and stolen! Bewitched and stolen! Everywhere I looked and found no token: but at the door of Goody Gurton I found this!
[Holds up small white Puritan cap.
THE CROWD.
A-aaaaaah!
BRADFORD.
How came this cap to your door, Goody Gurton?
GOODY GURTON
(in a shaking voice).
The children often visit me for sweetmeats. I gave the child a little barley sugar. She may have dropped the cap. I do not know.
