After going through some rather twisted and amusing logic, they finally put her to the test - if she weighs the same as a duck then she is surely a witch. As the balance is struck, the maiden speaks under the noise and celebration of the delighted villagers. What did she say? In all honesty, this is unfair. I don't know the answer and I've seen the film a dozen times. So that reading this won't be a total loss, who played the witch? (Hint - She is a regular contributor to the troupe and teamed with John Cleese to write and star in "Fawlty Towers".) This I do know. - Wink Swain d/b/a Marlow Hinton "Tarts dispensing swords from the bottom of a lake is no basis for a system of government."
