MARTHA
I do not.
I am not guilty of the charge against me.
MARY
Avoid, she-devil! You may torment me now!
Avoid, avoid, Witch!
MARTHA
I am innocent.
I never had to do with any Witchcraft
Since I was born. I am a gospel woman.
MARY
You are a gospel Witch!
MARTHA (clasping her hands)
Ah me! ah me!
Oh, give me leave to pray!
MARY (stretching out her hands)
She hurts me now.
See, she has pinched my hands!
HATHORNE
Who made these marks
Upon her hands?
MARTHA
I do not know. I stand
Apart from her. I did not touch her hands.
HATHORNE
Who hurt her then?
MARTHA
I know not.
