Odd, how obstinately she set her face against witchcraft.

And yet she lives at Rough Lee, in the very heart of a witch district, for such Master Nicholas Assheton calls this Pendle Forest.

Chattox! Lord bless us, what a name!--There's caldron and broomstick in the very sound! And Demdike is little better.

Both seem of diabolical invention.
