The chorus of ostensible witches is, of course, the same which minutes before played a group of cherubic courtiers and flower girls. The actors seem to be relying on the black cloaks which partially cover their usual white robes to convey the transformation of their characters.

Ally McBeal, Fox's Monday-night comedy-drama, looks like another success...
...guilt before an Almighty--was attractive.
