:12:06
Miss Watson? Dazzle us, will you?
:12:20
Well, I've created a 1 7th century journal.
:12:22
One year in the life
Of an accused Salem witch.
:12:26
Documenting actual events,
it contains 365 entries,
:12:29
all written with quill and ink,
:12:31
bound by leather and twine
and aged for authenticity.
:12:35
it chronicles a young girl's
false imprisonment and unfair trial.
:12:39
it took about six months
:12:41
October 1 0, 1 692.
:12:44
Another girl was burned at the stake today.
:12:47
I fear William Griggs will point to me next.
:12:49
I fear my future will be
nothing more than smoldering ashes.
:12:56
if this be true, I pray the wind...
:12:58
will carry my ashes far from Gallows Hull...
:13:02
to a place that allows me to sing and dance...
:13:05
in the open air.
:13:11
Oh, how very moving.
:13:17
I tried not to get too carried away with the prose.
:13:20
it's completely factual.
She was ultimately burned at the stake.
:13:23
It's documented.
:13:25
Always a victim,
:13:27
aren't we, Miss Watson?
:13:31
Well, there are similarities between
society today and 1 7th century Salem.
:13:36
I guess that would be the irony of it all.
:13:40
I'm well aware of what Irony is, Miss Watson.
:13:42
You, however, should consult your dictionary.
:13:45
Of course, I wasn't suggesting that it was
:13:48
irony is the opposite of what is
or might be expected.
:13:52
For example, if Miss Watson...
:13:55
was expecting an A on her history project,
:13:58
she might find the actual
result to be... rather ironic.
