Today is the first full day that Elizabeth has been in jail and Proctor is still trying to get her out. He has ripped up her arrest warrant and is going crazy just to try and free her. I do not know why he does not just leave her there she is worthless, he could have me. Instead he continues to stay, then they tell him that she is pregnant and he can not believe it. So know she will not be hanged until the baby is delivered.
Putnam is brought into a room to answer allegations by Giles that he prompted his daughter to accuse George Jacobs of witchcraft. Giles refuses to give the name of the man who gave him the information because he has a right to his privacy. So Giles is arrested for contempt of court. Then Danforth sends for me and my troops of girls. I deny Mary's testimony, and her explanation of the doll in the house.
Proctor leaps in and calls me a whore. He confesses his affair with me and explains that Elizabeth fired me when she discovered it. He then claims that I wanted Elizabeth to hang so that I could take her place in his home. Although he is not wrong I am not going to agree with that and get in trouble. Then they bring Elizabeth in the room and she claims to have gotten the mistaken notion that Proctor fancied me, so she lost her temper and fired me without a true cause.
Until next time,
Abigail Williams
