Even Tamar's mother believed that the child had been forced on her by the Devil when, against her judgement, she was persuaded to attend a midsummer sabbat of witches. In a world of superstition and intolerance, Tamar, growing into a wild and beautiful girl, seemed doomed to violent death when the witchpricker came to Plymouth. Intelligent, though untutored, she attracted the attention of Bartle Cavill, the lusty gentleman-adventurer, home from the Spanish Main; moreover the Puritan, Humility Brown, was not unaware of her. These two men attracted her as she attracted them, but for different reasons, representing as they did, the one passion, the other piety.
