ABSTRACT

JORUND: (rushing from the house, before Anne has finished speaking, wailing). Lord have mercy on us! Satan is loose.

OTHERS: (hurrying towards her) What is it? J: I went to the door to hear what all the noise and running meant. Then

Kristense, the tanner’s – O: Yes? Well? J: They’re going to take a witch on the common. O: Lord a mercy! J: The guards are there, oh, and crowds. Khris said they could see the

witch. She were out on the roof, calling the Devil. He may blast the guards with fire and brimstone. And us, too, God help us.
