The ability of that Wiccan to turn herself into a gorgeous babe is Not Fair, IMHO.

1. Well, that was weird and funny.

If a priest came into my room late at night, I'd check my chastity belt.

FYI, there's a pretty good movie about the United Kingdom's official executioner back then, Albert Pierrepoint. Title is "Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman." He performed the last hanging in the Irish state, of Michael Manning in April 1954.

And at least the illustrator got the aircraft pretty much right, a Lockheed Constellation. Though our hero must have been very privileged, since air travel was too expensive for most people in the 1950s:

3. Pierrepoint is a very good movie.

Timothy Spall seems to get some unusual roles. Like his portrayal of Mr. Turner.

I liked it but my wife (who likes Turner's paintings) was kind of creeped out.

2. The trial page is out of order

should be before he is pronounced dead on the gallows.
I like being picked up from the airport ion a 19th century buggy
Also that Priest has some pretty powerful magic, burns the Witch with just a bible and a wave of his finger.
