She went to the bedside of the irresponsible Ned, who had been laid low by myocarditis (inflammation of the muscular walls of the heart), but not just to smooth his brow.

The idea of this form of execution probably received a great impetus from H. L. Mencken- he refers many times throughout his rather muscular prose to such affairs. As a matter of fact the form of execution was usually by hanging. If there is a case on record where a witch was actually executed by burning during the colonial period, I should like to learn about...
