Proctor (shaking her) Do you look for whippin’? (A psalm is heard being sung below.) Abigail (in tears) I look for John Proctor that took me from my sleep and put knowledge in my heart! I never knew what pretense Salem was, I never knew the lying lessons I was taught by all these Christian women and their covenanted men! And now you bid me tear the light out of my eyes? I will not, I cannot! You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet! (He turns abruptly to go out. She rushes to him.) John, pity me, pity me!
