Start Scene 3 Flashcards
Good morning, Majesty.
Where is Mister Parris?
I’ll fetch him.
Marshal. When did reverend hale arrive?
It were towards midnight, I think.
What is he about here?
And mister Parris with him.
Indeed. That man have no authority to enter here, Marshal; why have you let him in?
Why, Mister Parris command me, sir. I cannot deny him.
Are you drunk, Marshal?
No, sir, it is a bitter night, and I have no fire here.
Fetch Mister Parris.
Aye, sir.
There is a prodigious stench in this place.
I have only now cleared the people out for you.
Beware hard drink, marshal.
I should not be surprised he have been preachin’ in Andover lately.
We’ll come to that; speak nothing of Andover. Parris prays with him. That’s strange.
I think sometimes Parris has a mad look these days.
Mad?
I think it is not well the village sees him so unsteady.
Perhaps he have some sorrow.
Oh, good morning, sir, thank you for comin’, I beg your pardon wakin you so early. Good morning, judge Hathorne…
Reverend hale have no right to enter this…
Do you leave him alone with the prisoners?
What’s his business here?
Reverend hale has returned to bring Rebecca Nurse to God.
He bids her confess?
He pleads with them confess their crimes and save their lives.
Why— this is indeed a providence. And they soften, they soften?
