And at my coming she said, ‘Mr. Kingston, I hear say I shall not die before noon, and I am very sorry therefor, for I thought to be dead by this time, and past my pain.’ I told her it should be no pain, it was so subtle. And then she said, ‘I heard say the executor was very good, and I have a little neck,’ and put her hand about it, laughing heartily. I have seen many men and also women executed, and all they have been in great sorrow, and to my knowledge this lady has much joy and pleasure in death.”[19] May. Otho, C. x. 223. B. M.
