[last lines]
Kate Malpas : Do you know why that pub's called 'The Oak'?
Barnaby : No.
Kate Malpas : Used to be an old tree in that spot. The first Katherine Malpas was hanged there, with all the other so-called witches.
Barnaby : Hanged?
Kate Malpas : There were no witches burned in this village; only straw women. Still, everyone loves a good bonfire, eh.

Barnaby : George, if this is only O level chemistry, then anyone can do it, can't they? And they can get the chemicals from any school laboratory.
Dr Bullard : Well, pity the youth of today, Tom. Health and Safety wouldn't let them near it in a million years.
-
Scott : You know Hopkins, then?
Barnaby : Indeed I do, professionally. She's a magistrate.
Scott : Sounds like it's Clifford she wants on top of the bonfire.
Barnaby : Yeah, well, she was always a bit of a hanger and a flogger.
Scott : She should work for Clifford. People will pay good money for that sort of thing.

Dr Bullard : I'll have to get back to you on what caused the fire.
Barnaby : Why would anyone take against the vicar and his curate?
Dr Bullard : Perhaps there's a Satanist on the loose.
Barnaby : George, George, don't use words like Satanist. People are getting the wrong idea already.
