ACT II, SCENE 5

Things begin to happen very quickly. Giles Corey and Francis
Nurse come in; their wives have been arrested. In one very short
scene we find out that: 1) No one is safe, if these two godly
women can be accused; and 2) The accusers are seeking
revenge-on Rebecca Nurse for murdering Goody Putnam's
babies, and on Martha Corey for murdering Walcott's pigs.
These two facts can add up to only one thing: Elizabeth Proctor
is next.
