Francis: I have brought trouble on these people; I have—
Danforth: No, old man, you have not hurt these people if they are of good conscience. But you must understand, sir, that a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it, there be no road between. This is a sharp time, now, a precise time—we live no longer in the dusky afternoon when evil mixed itself with good and befuddled the world. Now, by God’s grace, the shining sun is up, and them that fear not light will surely praise it. I hope you will be one of those. (Mary Warren suddenly sobs.) She’s not hearty, I see.
Proctor: No, she’s not, sir. (to Mary, bending to her, holding her hand, quietly) Now remember what the angel Raphael said to the boy Tobias. Remember it.
Mary Warren (hardly audible): Aye.
Proctor: “Do that which is good, and no harm shall come to thee.”
Mary Warren: Aye.
Danforth: Come, man, we wait you.
