Elizabeth Throckmorton has a fit at dinner in which her mouth shuts up half-way through saying grace. Robert Throckmorton calls on Agnes Samuel and tells her to "charge the spirit to open her mouth againe, that she might finish her grace, which the maid did, and the child went through her grace, to the end of it." This repeats with each of the children in turn. Robert cannot get Agnes to say grace, however, no matter how he or the children try to teach her. (75-76)
