- The Doctor: My lord, when I heard of Ralph Gower's discovery, I was reminded of this old volume. Mock, sir, if you will. These sages had access to much wisdom.
- The Judge: Doctor, witchcraft is dead and discredited. Are you bent on reviving forgotten horrors?
- The Judge: You must have patience, even while people die. Only thus can the whole evil be destroyed. You must let it grow.
- Reverend Fallowfield: There is growing amongst you all an insolent ungodliness, which I will not tolerate!
- The Judge: I am ready to return, but understand, I shall use undreamed-of measures, to conquer the evil.
- The Judge: Ralph here claims he discovered a deformed anatomy in those furrows. Knew you any such?
- Reverend Fallowfield: Not since Meg Parsons died. But strange folk have been seen to pass this way from time to time.
- The Judge: Doctor, I am leaving soon. As a favor, might I request the loan of this book? It might merit further study.
- The Doctor: 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 Ralph not describe such a countenance?
- The Judge: Perhaps some such thing.
- Ralph Gower: There be the master with a lady.
- The Judge: Uh-huh.
- Ralph Gower: I would have Cathy for my lady one day.
- Cathy Vespers: [Cathy, to Peter] Be that true? You've run away? Did you climb down a ladder in the moonlight?
- Peter Edmonton: Ha, ha! Just so, Cathy. And her father chased after us with a stick.
- Cathy Vespers: I do wish Ralph would run away with me sometime.
