Act II

Individual

"Elizabeth: God forbid you keep that from the court, John. I think they must be told.

Proctor, (quietly, struggling with his thought): Aye, they must, they must. It is a wonder they do believe her.

Elizabeth: I would go to Salem now, John—let you go tonight.

Proctor: I'll think on it.

Elizabeth, (with her courage now): You cannot keep it, John.

Proctor, (angering): I know I cannot keep it. I say I will think on it!" -pg. 53
