R. She had never seen one.
Q. Whether she had ever heard her fly up the chimney?
R. Nay, she had always gone softly out at the door.
Q. Whether she never at mornings had missed her broom or pitch-fork?
R. Once the broom was gone, but she had found it again behind the stove, and may be left it there herself by mistake.
Q. Whether she had never heard Rea cast a spell or wish harm to this or that person?
R. No, never; she had always wished her neighbours nothing but good, and even in the time of bitter famine had taken the bread out of her own mouth to give it to others.
Q. Whether she did not know the salve which had been found in Rea her coffer?
R. Oh, yes! her young mistress had brought it back from Wolgast for her skin, and had once given her some when she had chapped hands, and it had done her a vast deal of good.
Q. Whether she had anything further to say?
