: i might be mistaken, but isnt abby under 18? if she is, he would be guilty of statutory(sp?) . i think. also, he did cheat on his wife, there is something there. i think the book was very vague, it never really said whether they did anything or not, only implied it. sorry, i probably wasnt much help. . .

I have just read that Abigail was only 11 years old and that, while she enjoyed her power, that she was manipulated by the adults around her. I have also read that after she stole Rev. Parris' money and laid low for a while, that she later surfaced as a prostitute in Boston.
