Addressing Angelique, Strack instructs, "Prepare 
yourself for eternity, witch!"
After raising his arm above his head, in a signal 
to the men atop the platform, Strack lowers it 
commanding, "Let the devil take his own!"
At the signal, the men push Angelique off of the
platform. AS THE ROPE GOES TAUT, HER BODY JERKS TO
A SUDDEN STOP. CHARLES TURNS AROUND AND LOOKS UP AT
SARAH'S WINDOW. Upon seeing Angelique falling from 
the platform, the horrified girl reaches her hands 
to her face and screams. Charles then turns away.
AS THE WIND HOWLS, THE MEN SLOWLY PULL ANGELIQUE'S 
BODY UP. HER GHASTLY DISTORTED VISAGE BETRAYS ALL 
THE AGONY THAT WAS HER DEATH. 
UNABLE TO LOOK ANY LONGER, CHARLES TURNS AWAY FROM 
THE SIGHT AND BEGINS WALKING WITH A PRONOUNCED 
LIMP TOWARD COLLINWOOD. THE OTHERS SOON FOLLOW AS 
one of the servants begins to climb the ladder up 
to the platform.
