• She was dancing in the woods and dancing is a sickness

• She started screaming when the people downstairs started saying the Lord's name.

• She flew out the window

Parris is reluctant to tell anyone that Betty may be bewitched because he…

• speak to Ann's dead babies

• learn to dance in the forest

• overcome childish behavior

What did Abigail drink in the woods?
