Six Sentences for February 3, 2013

Six sentences from The Ruth Chernock Series, Book 1, Regarding Ruth for Six Sentence Sunday Group at: Link for Six Sentences FB Group

Thank you for stopping by for my six sentences. This is my first week posting my sentences so I decided to start near the beginning. 
Ruth is a young woman in an 18th century jail in East Grantham, Maine. She has remained in her cell for nearly a year and a half while awaiting her fate. Reverend Jensen has come to speak one last time with Ruth. As she lies on the straw mattress on the cold stone floor she greets him with well deserved animosity. 

“Have you no mercy for me Reverend Jensen?”
“Woman I have none. Pray God that He might find some before this week is done. I shall see you hung on Saturday next.”
“Peter Jensen are you so pure of heart that you might judge me?”
“You will not test me woman!”
