as throwing Stones at her house, Striveing to get in &
lodg with her. after relating those abuses Said that

absence, but Shee hoped they would not quite kill her,
that htey Could do nothing wors that they had unless
they killed her. Shee also Said that Said North had abused
her wors than any other person in the world had, but Shee
believd it was best for her to keep her troubles to her
