A little prince. Anne: Tell her she was right. Anne: [ Chuckles ]
Cotton: And, then, um... And then...
Anne: And after the leap, then what? Boy: Open. Even as I killed her, the box which holds her unholy remains was safely hidden. I begin to understand Love. In Hell. Increase: I must speak with my son Cotton. Increase: Legends say Countess Ingrid Palatine Von Marburg was already alive when Lucifer fell and she was one of the first to call him lord, to kiss his infernal lips to make herself his bride, and that still she dreams of the return of her lover and works ceaselessly to that end. It is too late. My father's book... My father's blood. Secrets you and I both need. The ghost of my father paid me a visit last night. There are secrets in that book... Tituba: Don't you see, John Alden? Tituba: He is unsettled, vulnerable. [ Screaming ]
Increase: [ Gasps ]
Mary: I gave you leave to spy on the Countess, not haunt the streets of Salem like some ghost from a cheap ballad.
