MUG #12

"Abigail leads the girls to the woods, Your Honor, and they have danced" (1094).


As further evidence to prove that Abigail is not the innocent child Danforth believes, Proctor tells him about how "[she] leads the girls to the woods...[where] they have danced" (1094).

Bonus Practice:

The  text p. 1074:
Cheever, wide-eyed, trembling: The girl, the Williams girl, Abigail Williams, sir.  She sat to dinner in Reverend Parris's house tonight, and without word nor warnin' she falls to the floor.  Like a struck beast, he says, and screamed a scream that a bull would weep to hear.  And he goes to save her, and, stuck two inches in the flesh of her belly, he draw a needle out.  And demandin' of her how she come to be so stabbed, she--to Proctor now--testify it were your wife's familiar spirit pushed it in.

Not well-integrated:
Cheever says, "And he goes to save her, and, stuck two inches in the flesh of her belly, he draw a needle out.  And demandin' of her how she come to be so stabbed, she--to Proctor now--testify it were your wife's familiar spirit pushed it in" (1074).

Better blended quote but with a pronoun error:
Cheever explains that he has been sent to search the Proctor's house for poppets because Abigail had a needle "stuck two inches in the flesh of her belly," which she "testify it were your wife's familiar spirit pushed it in" (1074).

Cheever explains that he has been sent to search the Proctor's house for poppets because Abigail had a needle "stuck two inches in the flesh of her belly," which she "testify it were [Elizabeth's] familiar spirit pushed it in" (1074).
