Eddie: |
Ada and May Coffin. Sisters.(To Gertrude) Are you ready for the gamble? |
|
|
Gertrude: |
I heard of them. These are the two that stole the right glove of a man. |
|
|
Gertrude: |
And they rubbed it on the back of their cat.
|
|
|
Eddie: |
Their spirit, Rutterkin.
|
|
|
Gertrude: |
And they put the cat into boiling water, and pricked it and buried it in the garden. |
|
|
Benjamin: |
And often the cat would leap on their shoulders, they say, and suck blood. |
|
|
Titus: |
What? After it was buried and boiled? |
|
|
Gertrude: |
Witches. I hope they're not going to drink in here.
|
|
|
Eddie: |
They are. Scared of the gamble maybe? All stop here before the gallows. Witches and all.
|
|
|
Gertrude: |
But is it safe? |
|
|
Titus: |
The gamble's not safe, the witches are. |
|
Gertrude goes to the door.
|
Gertrude: |
They're bringing them on a cart. The two of them.
|
|
Benjamin goes out the door with Gertrude. They rush back, shutting the door.
|
Benjamin: |
Quick! They're nearly here! Look natural.
|
|
|
Titus: |
They can't hurt you. |
|
|
Getrude: |
Oh I wish I wasn't here. I wish I wasn't in here. |
