Could I suggest a dialogue coach or editor? Very stilted and awkward sounding...
The speech probably sounds a little weird because I dont want it to sound modern. I commented on a previous chapter explaining that I'm not very good at history, and the aim of this story wasn't for it to be historically correct. I was just interested in the idea of witchcraft in the 17th century. I wanted Alicia's speech to sound abnormal and kind of posh and proper. Thats the reason she never uses words like 'can't or 'don't.
