Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1745 The Queen of Hell ([-])
Victor Hugo once wrote that love is an idealistic thing, and love can still be found in hell.

Sarah Osborne was dragged from her hospital bed in February, and Boston guards removed her body from the crowd on May 2. No one blamed witchcraft for the death of the "witch" .

The dead witches were carried away, and the living witches were imprisoned again. People began to call the Boston prison "the grave of the living."

Although the jailers looked decent, they were fierce and violent like tigers. According to the law, prisoners can be provided with linen bedding, bread and water, but the guards have little mercy to them.

Deposed in 1689, Andros and his attorney general found at least six inches of water in the Boston prison when it rained while imprisoned here. The wet and cold weather, combined with food shortages, kept the It was torture inside, but there was a tranquility you couldn't find anywhere else, not to mention the fact that relatives would try to send in food, drink and new linen, even if it cost a lot of money to pay off the jailers.

It's a fine business, and brings in more than you can get from the best acre of wheat in England.A wealthy man like Nathaniel Cary could afford to make his wife, Elizabeth Cary, more comfortable in prison.And Philip English paid the jailer £4000 directly so that he could live in the jailer's home instead of the prison.

Nathaniel Cary was a Charleston shipbuilder and wealthy captain.Given that Governor Phipps needed money and ships to deal with the French privateers, it's not hard to guess why they were charged.

At dawn on May 5, the couple arrived in Salem by boat, and they decided that rather than waiting for the sheriff to be arrested with a judge's warrant, they would go and clear their charges. The accusation against Elizabeth Cary is The pastor's niece, Abigail, she hadn't met Elizabeth Cary before, and Elizabeth hadn't met Abigail, but she could say Elizabeth's name exactly.

Cary, in consultation with Judges Hassan and Corwin, was available on Monday's schedule, the day the judge scheduled multiple trials, where Nathaniel met John Hale, an experienced exorcist. The priest, who advised Cary that it would be best to meet Elizabeth's accuser in private, and Hale would arrange a meeting.

After being "tortured" for so long, not only the judges were tired, but the girls were also tired. They kept silent during the series of interrogations, and only screamed when the defendant looked at them.

Pastor Parris said that it was the witch's supernatural power that prevented them from speaking. After the interrogation, Hale arranged to meet, but Abigail only agreed to interview the couple at the Ingersoll Tavern.

Abigail liked Benjamin Hutchinson, although there was a couple of years of age difference between them, Abigail still a kid and Benjamin a lad in his early twenties.

Originally, children liked to play with older children, and Benjamin was handsome, but Abigail was not allowed to go into the tavern to strike up a conversation with him. Now her identity is different, and no one’s children will see a doctor when they are sick. These girls didn't dare to go to the doctor until they saw that it was not a curse.

Benjamin was a soldier's son, he could use a musket and a bayonet, and he was, after all, a prom prince.

Abigail accosted Benjamin outside the tavern on April 4 as he worked with a pitchfork, feeding the horses of the guests in the stables.

How do girls get boys' attention?
Normal girls would share Abigail Hobbs' desire to wear fancy clothes, and Abigail Wilms tells Benjamin that there is a small, wicked man standing by the roadside.

"He killed three women!" said Abigail Wilms, "and he recruited nine Salem witches."

"Where is he?" asked Benjamin bravely.

Abigail pointed in one direction, and Benjamin walked over with the pitchfork and hit the target.

He didn't hurt the little man, but he tore his clothes, or so Abigail said.

Abigail was able to enter the main hall of the tavern to greet Benjamin when she was a child, and then vividly described the scene to the grown men.

At this time, she saw a gray cat appear, and Benjamin drove the cat away with a rapier under her command. Abigail told him that it was Sarah Goode's pet, and she has been the tavern ever since regulars.

The business of the tavern was very good on the opening day, not only the judges, but also the spectators and the "plaintiffs" also ate and stayed here. After the incident, John Indian no longer worked at the pastor's house, and he helped in the Ingersoll tavern.

Before Abigail came, in order to beg for a glass of cider, John Indian told the story of being cursed and showed Mr. Cary the wounds on his body.

In a previous trial, the judge tied the suspect's hands with rope, and John was also bound as the plaintiff. The rope tightened his skin and left scars, but he did not believe that it was his wife Tituba.

It was indeed not Tituba's doing, but Edward Bishop's, who bound John Indian's hands with ropes, and rode himself, with John following on foot, and John convulsed, and Edward beat him with a stick. After giving him a pause, the devil in his body was pulled out.

Right during John Indian's presentation, the girls came in like a herd of wild boars on a rampage.

The tavern was suddenly quiet, time seemed to freeze, everyone was very nervous, and even when some of them fell down, no one dared to help them.

After they recovered, the girls pointed to Elizabeth Cary together: "It's Elizabeth Cary who tortured us!"

At this moment an official walked into the next room where the judges were gathered, and when he came out he had a warrant in his hand, and Elizabeth Cary, who had come to clear her name, was arrested.

What her husband can do is to try to prevent her from being transferred to the Boston prison. In May, the Boston prison was already overcrowded. Elizabeth was supposed to be escorted away with the other six people and became Phipps' second escort. Witch, she was eventually imprisoned in Cambridge Prison, which was closer to her home, but the heavy shackles made her cramp constantly, and Nathaniel almost felt that it was impossible for her to leave the prison alive.

Philip English is the richest man in Salem. Like Elizabeth Cary, he is in his 40s. He did whatever it takes to succeed like Giles Corey in his early years, and he has also become a newly elected executive committee.

Rebecca Nas's husband, Francis Nass, launched a petition, and 39 villagers signed their names to testify that the old Rebecca was a pious woman and that she was not a witch.

Before Alden was disarmed on May 5, the girls surrounded him. One of the girls sneered and said, "You are not submissive. How dare you not take off your hat in front of the judge."

Maybe that's why they were arrested, because they weren't submissive enough.

This is how it is to live in such a world where right and wrong can be reversed at will. Those who obey me prosper, and those who oppose me perish. No matter what your status is, if you are not obedient, you will be imprisoned.

Strangely, no one raised an armed uprising as much as they did against Governor Andros, perhaps because people believed too much in the existence of Satan in the world.On the day Elizabeth was transferred, Paris initiated another public fast. How many people would disobey the order this time and hold a blood-drinking banquet in the pastor's backyard?
