It was thine for taking

thy family hither.

- Godly?

Our children are being

fostered up like savages.

Kate!

How oft I begged and begged thee

to take Samuel for baptism.

Theyd not baptize

outside the congregation

- Our Sam is in hell!

- Go to.

God save us, Caleb is well.

We must keep him still.

And Thomasin.

That corn is trash.

We cannot back to that church!

- We will starve!

- Peace. Peace.

Youll wake em. Peace.

Ill to the village with the

horse and Thomasin tomorrow.

The Tildens or the Whytings,

they can make use of her.

They are good folk.

Stop. Kate.

We will find food. I know it.

Caleb?

What are you doing?

Go to sleep.

Whats this? Tell me. Now!

- Running away then?

and keep silent of this,

I promise thee, youll need not

leave to serve the Tildens...

...nor any family else.

Ill be back by midday.

Ill wake mother and

father this instant.

Well?

- Aye but we did!

- Nay.

- We did.

- No.

We had glass windows in England.

We haven't been hither so long

that you can forget that?

- As you like, Thomasin.

- Youve gone mad!

Dost not remember Fowler laying

on the floor in the sun?

- You must!

- Nay.

And where the sun would shine,

would he warm himself.

Remember once he lay

upon the table,

and Father saw him and he saith

we will have him for meat!"

"Kate, Kate! We will

roast this beast.

You must remember that!

I remember that

day, but no glass.

"O God my Lord, I now begin,

O help me and I'll leave my sin."
