(Scene 3:2 begins)
Now Martha Corey, there is abundant evidence in our hands to show that you have given yourself to the reading of fortunes. Do you deny it?
Martha: I am innocent to a witch. I know not what a witch is
How do you know then that you are not a witch?
Martha: if I were I would know it
Why do you hurt these children?
Corey: your hearing lies, lies!
Arrest him, Excellency!
Corey: they’ll be hanging my wife’
How do you dare come roarin into this court! Are you gone daft, Corey?
Danforth: Indeed! I am amazed to find you in such uproar - I have only good report of your character, Mister Nurse
I think they must both be arrested in contempt , sir
Nurse: we have proof of it, sir. They are all deceiving you
This is contempt sir, contempt!
Danforth: Judge Hathorne!
Aye, she’s the one
Parris: … And I think you will want to know, from each and every one of them, what discontents them with you!
I think they ought to be examined sir.
Proctor: Aye. This is Mister Corey’s deposition
Dnaforth: Oh?
What lawyer drew this Corey?
Corey; the problem is there! I have it from an honest man who heard Put an say it! The day his daughter cried out on Jacobs, he said she’d given him a fair gift of land
And the name of this man?
Corey: what name?
The man that give you this information
Corey: Why I… I cannot give you his name
And why not?
You know well why not! He’ll lay in jail if I give his name!
This is contempt of the court, Mister Danforth!
Parris: The Devil lives on such confidences! Without confidence there could be no conspiracy, your honor!
I think it must be broken, sir.
Corey: Ay, now she is solemn and goes to hang people!
Danforth: Quite, man…
Surely it have no bearing on the question, sir. He charges contemplation of murder.
Danforth: But she have danced?
Parris: Aye, sir
Excellency, will you permit me?
Pray, proceed
You say you never saw no spirits, Mary. were never threatened or afflicted by any manifest of the Devil or the Devils agents?
Mary: no sir
And yet, when people accused of witchery confronted you in court, you would faint, saying their spirits came out of their bodies and choked you…
Proctor: She only pretended to faint, Your Excellency. they’re all marvelous pretenders
Then can she pretend to faint now?
Danforth: Thought you saw them!
Mary: But I did not, your honor
How could you think you saw them unless you saw them?
Mercy: Your Honor, I freeze!
Proctor: They’re pretending!
She is cold, Your Honor, touch her!
Danforth: Beware hard drink l, Marshal
Willard: Aye, sir
Let you question Hale, Excellency; I should not be suprised he have been preachin’ in Andover lately.
Danforth: We’ll come to that; speak nothin of Andover. Parris prays with him. That’s strange.
I think sometimes Parris has a mad look these days.
