Read the passage from The Crucible Act 2, Part 2 by Arthur Miller.

MARY WARREN (glancing at the room): I'll get up early in the morning and clean the house. I must sleep now. (She turns and starts off.)

PROCTOR: Mary. (She halts.) Is it true? There be fourteen women arrested?

MARY WARREN: No, sir. There be thirty-nine now- (She suddenly breaks off and sobs and sits down, exhausted.)

ELIZABETH: Why, she's weepin'! What ails you, child?

MARY WARREN: Goody Osburn-will hang!

(There is a shocked pause, while she sobs.)

PROCTOR: Hang! (He calls into her face.) Hang, y'say?

MARY WARREN (through her weeping): Aye.
