Being brought before Governor Endicott, she was asked, "Are you the same Mary Dyer that was here before?"
"I am the same Mary Dyer."
"Do you know you are under sentence of death?"
"I do, and I came back to remind you of the unrighteousness of your laws, and to warn you to repent!"
"Are you still a Quaker?"
"I am still reproachfully so called."
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock I order that you shall be hanged."
"This sounds like something you said before!"
"Lead her away—away, I say!"
