Goody Proctor is a gossiping liar!
I know how you clutched my back behind your house and sweated like a stallion whenever I came near!
And mark this. Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you. And you know that I can do it.
I am but God's finger, John. If he would condemn Elizabeth, she will be condemned.
I look for the John Proctor who took me from my sleep and put knowledge in my heart!
