The recent wealth of knowledge posted to the net regarding
witches gives me hope that someone out there can answer this
question:

In "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", villagers accuse a local
maiden of being a witch.  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.
