Tituba: My Betty not goin’ die…

Out of my sight! Out of my… Oh, my God! God help me! Betty. Child. Dear child. Will you wake, will you open up your eyes! Betty, little one…

ABIGAIL: Uncle? Susanna Walcott’s here from Doctor Griggs.

Oh? The doctor. Let her come, let her come.

ABIGAIL. Come in, Susanna.

What does the doctor say, child?

SUSANNA. Dr. Griggs he bid me come and tell you, Reverend sir, that he cannot discover no medicine for it in his books.

Then he must search on.

SUSANNA. …that you might look to unnatural things for the cause of it.

No—no. There be no unnatural causes here. Tell him I have sent for Reverend Hale of Beverly, and Mister Hale will surely confirm that. Let him to medicine, and put out all thought of unnatural causes here. There be none.

ABIGAIL. Speak nothin of it in the village, Susanna.

Go directly home and speak nothin of unnatural causes.

ABIGAIL. …The parlor’s packed with people, sir. I’ll sit with her.

And what shall I say to them? That my daughter and my niece. Discovered dancing like heathen in the forest?!
