MUG #11

Proctor:  It is not a child.  Now hear me, sir.  In the sight of the congregation she were twice this year put out of this meeting house for laughter during prayer.
Danforth: [Shocked, turning to Abigail] What's this?  Laughter during--!
Parris:  Excellency, she were under Tituba's power at that time, but she is solemn now.

Blended quote:
To prove to Danforth that Abigail "is not a child," Proctor reveals that she has been in trouble for "laughter during prayer," which Parris corroborates but quickly blames Tituba for Abigail's misdeeds, saying "she is solemn now" (1094).

Voc Test today.

Drafts due Monday.  Get to work!
