The Lady Of Blossholme

CHAPTER X
13/29

Emlyn Stower is right.

Do you call that witchcraft which works so good an end?
The ghost of Sir John Foterell appeared here--we admit it who saw that ghost.

But what did the spirit do?
It slew the hellish woman whom you sent among us and it rescued the blessed babe when her finger was down its throat to choke out its pure life.

If that be witchcraft I stand by it.

Tell us what did the wretch mean when she cried out to the spirit to spare her because she was poor and had been bribed for her iniquity?
Who bribed her, my Lord Abbot?
None in this house, I'll swear.
