Francis courageously storms into the court presuming that
the magistrates will listen to him. He approaches them with his own voice of authority
claiming that he has proof that the girls were pretending. It is during this time that
he also slaps the judges with a biting and sarcastic
remark:
Excellency, we have proof for your eyes; God
forbid you shut them too it. The girls sir, the girls are
frauds.
Not only does this
show great courage, but it demonstrates that Francis believes that they might be turning
an eye away from the evident truth and that they are choosing to believe these silly
girls.
Three times Francis suggests that the magistrates
are being deceived. Someone of their stature would take this as a complete insult and he
is happy to continue hurling it on them.
