When Peter learned that Trask had simply disappeared, did he stop to wonder if maybe Vicky was a witch after all? Trask's disappearance would look like a perfect act of vengeance on her part.

When the crowd outside started making noise after the gun was fired in the jail, I naturally filled in the action outside with music and lyrics from Gilbert and Sullivan, slightly altered: "Hark, what was that sound?" "Why, an arquebus, fired from the jail, unless I much mistake!" "Strange, and at such an hour! What can it mean?" Very stirring. Dark Shadows and Gilbert and Sullivan go together like pins and little wax dolls.
