This week I'm reading The Devlin Diary by Christi Phillips. It's interesting to read about what they thought of as medicine in 1672. It sounds more like some kind of witch's brew.
The sentence:
She attempts to pull it off, but the ring won't budge. Jenny's eyes grow round as she watches the whore bend back the entire finger - it makes a sharp cracking sound, like a stout branch snapped off a tree - then cut it off with the knife, as expertly as a butcher chopping off a chicken leg.
Ewww, ick, ick, ick. I still have not found out why she would do such a thing. I'm sure she had a very good reason.
