Hello Diary! I have heard rumours that while John Proctor and his wife are being held in prison, the sheriff went to their home and seized all their goods. They sold some of their cattle at half price. What they didn’t want they burned. I wonder what is to become of the Proctor’s five children now that their parents are in jail and their maid Mary Warren is now accused as a witch?
I am not really too concerned about this turn of events since John Proctor is a fool for accusing me of lying and the Proctor children are spoiled, unruly little ankle-biters. Mary Warren, who is a few years older than the rest of us, played along with our game for a time and then later tried to make it seem like we have been lying about our fits and visions in a note she posted at the meetng house. She must realize that she made a big mistake speaking out against us for now she is accused of being a witch. I am much too powerful a person in our community and too good an actress for the adults not to fully believe me. I think the whole family should be hanged!
