why she hides them.
She's not.

He observes her carefully.
The others watch breathlessly.

I saw Kettle in the grass where they were dancing.
There were Onley soup.
Hail. What sort of soup?
We're in the kettle.
Abigail. Why were beans and lentils, I think.
And Mr Paris?

A mouse, perhaps?
A spider.
A frog?
Paris. I do believe there were some movement in the
soup. Abigail that jumped in.

Did you feel any strangeness when she called him a
sudden cold wind, Perhaps a trembling below the ground.
I didn't see no double shaking.
Betty. Betty, wake up!
Betty. Betty, You cannot evade me.
Abigail, Did your cousin drink any of the Bruin?
That kettle?
She never drink it.

She tried, but I refused.
Why are you concealing?

Abigail. She sends her spirit on me in church.
She makes me laugh at prayer.
Paris. She often laughed at prayer.
Abigail. She comes to me every night to go and
drink some blood.

She is scared for her cousin.
She's probably trying to avoid blame herself, But now that
two tube is here trying to defend herself, Abby started
shouting out some actually accusations.
Thio, you begged me to conjure She begged me some
charm. Don't lie.
She comes to me while I sleep.
She's always making my my dreams corrupted.

doorway and not a stitch on my body.
I always hear laughing in my sleep.
I hear singing her Barbados songs in tempting me with
