Bedevere:
How do you know she is a witch?

Peasant:
She looks like one.

[Crowd indistinctly shouts]

Bedevere:
Bring her forward!

Girl:
I'm not a witch.

Bedevere:
But you are dressed as one...

Girl:
They dressed me up like this. [Crowd murmurs]

Girl:
And this isn't my nose. This is a false one.

Bedevere:
[inspects the nose and confirms] Well?

Peasant:
Well, we did do the nose.

Bedevere:
The nose?

Peasant:
And the hat. She's a witch!

Peasant Crowd:
Burn her!

Bedevere:
Did you dress her up like this?

Peasant Crowd:
No, no, no! [beat] Yes, yes. A bit. But she's got a wart.

Bedevere:
What makes you think she is a witch?

Peasant:
Oh, she turned me into a newt!

[Bedevere gives him a disbelieving look]

Bedevere:
A newt?

[Silence]

Peasant:
Well, I got better.

Peasant Crowd:
Burn her anyway!
