Dr. Griggs has come to our home to examine Abigail and me due to our strange fits. He seems to think that we have been bewitched and is talking to Father in a hushed worried tone.
Father and Mother seem to be very worried and have been pressing us to name who has done this terrible thing to us. Abigail and I are having too much fun rolling on the floor and faking hysterics to accuse anyone yet but our plan is to first accuse Tituba. As a nursemaid, Tituba had been a friend that we enjoyed spending time with, yet she had become distant and less caring lately which makes me angry. Anne Griggs and Elizabeth Hubbard have also been pretending to be inflicted which only makes our plan more exciting. We have begun to name witches but are careful not to name anyone who was a near neighbour, except for Tituba. We feel like we cant stop since the adults have been pestering us to reveal who was causing our injuries and honestly, I like the attention this has brought me. Father has never spent so much time talking with me before and I feel so close to him now!
We have named Tituba, Sarah Good, and Sarah Osborn who lives two miles away. Abigail and I have chosen Goody Good and Goody Osborn because the adults had already suspected them of deviant ways which we have overheard through the floor in our bedroom. They are worthless women who contribute little and should be cast out of our fair village anyway.
