A Conversation About Desire and Temptation

Thomasin Black Phillip, I conjure thee to speak to me. Speak as thou dost speak to Jonas and Mercy. Dost thou understand my English tongue? Answer me.

Black Phillip What... dost thou want?

[Thomasin stops]

Thomasin What canst thou give?

Black Phillip Wouldst thou like the taste of butter? A pretty dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?

Thomasin Yes.

Black Phillip Wouldst thou like to see the world?

Thomasin What will you from me?

Black Phillip Dost thou see a book before thee? Remove thy shift.

[Thomasin looks at the book as Black Phillip circles her in human form]

A Father's Dilemma and a Daughter's Denial

William You must tell me, Thomasin. Tomorrow, I cannot keep secret of this. A council will be called and thy life is...Thy life...

Thomasin You will not believe me?

William I saw the Serpent in my son. You stopped their prayer...

Thomasin They lie.

William I saw it. Caleb disappeared with thee!

Thomasin I love Caleb!

William And who then found him, pale as death, naked as sin and witched? Thomasin, listen to me. The bargain thou hast made is of no effect.

Thomasin I made no bargain.
