Quotes 

• Jonas , Mercy : [singing]  Black Phillip, Black Phillip, a crown grows out his head. Black Phillip, Black Phillip, to nanny queen is wed. Jump to the fence post. Running in the stall. Black Phillip, Black Phillip, king of all.

• Thomasin : [walking gradually toward her sister]  I be the witch of the wood.

  Mercy : Liar! Liar!

  Thomasin : I am.

  Caleb : List' not to her, Mercy.

  Thomasin : I am that very witch. When I sleep my spirit slips away from my body and dances naked with The Devil. That's how I signed his book.

  Mercy : No!

  Thomasin : He bade me bring him an unbaptized babe, so I stole Sam, and I gave him to my master. And I'll make any man or thing else vanish I like.
