The characters await death, having been sentenced for witchcraft. It is the late 1600s or early 1700s
Only the Calm Woman remains unmoved
On being questioned, she replies she will not hang
The Devil will look after his own
The others conclude she is indeed a witch -- and beg her to tell them how they too may gain Satan's protection
Only the girl protests -- and so they set on her and kill her
But the Calm Woman then informs them she has not after all offered them any guarantee of safety
In a wild fury they set on her also, and her prophecy is fulfilled - she will not hang
