The Crucible - Desire for Maternal Comfort in Crisis
Betty Parris:
I want my mama.
Abigail Williams:
Your mama's dead and buried.
Betty Parris:
I'll find her! Let me fly! Mama! No!
Abigail Williams:
Why are you doing this? I told you, he knows now.
Betty Parris:
You drank blood, Abby. You didn't tell him that!
Abigail Williams: [slaps Betty across the face]
You never say that again!
Betty Parris:
You drank a charm to kill John Proctor's wife! You drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor!
Abigail Williams: [throws Betty on the bed and starts hitting her]
Shut up! All of you. We danced. That is all, and mark this, if anyone breathe a word or the edge of a word about the other things, I will come to you in the black of some terrible night, and I will bring with me a pointy reckoning that will shudder you! And you know I can do it. I saw Indians smash my dear parents heads on the pillow next to mine. And I have seen some reddish work done at night. And I can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down!
