HATHORNE
What was the bird that this young woman saw
Just now upon your hand?

MARTHA
I know no bird.

HATHORNE
Have you not dealt with a Familiar Spirit?

MARTHA
No, never, never!

HATHORNE
What then was the Book
You showed to this young woman, and besought her
To write in it?

MARTHA
Where should I have a book?
I showed her none, nor have none.

MARY
The next Sabbath
Is the Communion Day, but Martha Corey
Will not be there!

MARTHA
Ah, you are all against me.
What can I do or say?

HATHORNE
You can confess.

MARTHA
No, I cannot, for I am innocent.
