Blood on Satan's Claw Page #3

- l was reminded of this old volume.

- (Scoffs)

Mock, sir, if you will.

These sages had access to much wisdom.

Ah, here we are.

Doctor, witchcraft is dead.

And discredited.

Are you bent on reviving forgotten horrors?

How do we know, sir, what is dead?

You come from the city.

You cannot know the ways of the country.

See, this picture.

Did not Ralph describe

such a countenance?

Perhaps some such thing.

(Peter moans)

The drug is wearing off.

His heartbeat is strong.

Doctor, l am leaving soon.

As a favour, might l request

the loan of this book?

lt might merit further study.

No good news, l regret, milord.

l've had to call off the chase.

There's no trace of the lady anywhere.

l fear she is lost to us.

Er... And how is it with the young fella?

The doctor is confident

that Mr Edmonton will survive.

Splendid. Thankful for small mercies.

l have to leave you now.

Ooh, of course. Affairs of state.

Fear not, milord,

the matter is in good hands.

Unfortunate you could not sup with me.

Most unfortunate.

Yes.

Assist His Lordship there.

Your Lordship,

please don't you desert us.

Squire Middleton will keep watch over you.

l have important business in London.

You shall spread no more rumours,

Ralph Gower. Understand?

Witchcraft. Pah!

Perhaps you will have peace from now on.

There will be no nonsense, sir.

l am father to all here.

They love me but they obey me first.

Have a pleasant journey, Your Lordship.

l shall not forget you.

l shall return when the time is right.

But you must have patience.

Even while people die. Only thus

can the whole evil be destroyed.

You must let it grow.

(Man) Come along. Come on.

Thou'll be man of the house now, Ralph.

Till the master's better.

- Come on, Mark. We'll be home soon.

- We'll be all right.

Oh, she's a devil, that Angel.

She be no friend of mine.

T'weren't her. She likes me.

T'were that thing she keeps.

Oh, l told her she shouldn't have touched it.

Oh Lord, Mark, what'll come o' thee?

Well, l were holding the claw

and Angel were laughing.

- Suddenly l gets this pain...

- Oh, sh. Don't tell.

Say a prayer. l'll say one with thee.

(Cathy) Our Father...

(Mark) Our Father...

- which art in heaven...

- which art in heaven...

- Hallowed be Thy name...

- Hallowed be Thy name...

Thy kingdom come...

T'ain't nothing, Ma. Pain's gone. l promise.

You just sit there.

Cathy, get thee to Scripture class.

l'll go to the doctor for medicine

that will settle thee straightway.

- But Ma, l be perfect.

- Hush, now.

- l'll be back in a twinkling.

- Bye, Ma.

Bye, chick. You come

straight home, mind, after.
