I own nothing… except for all the lovely little things I strategically placed in the poppet.

Note: All right, here's the game… something new is in the poppet every week for Cheever and Herrick to find! Let's begin!

-------------

Cheever (lifts up the poppet's skirt, his eyes widen in shock, surprise and horror): It is a GRAND PIANO! Herrick! Herrick! It is a grand piano!

Herrick (comes forward as Cheever pulls out piano): Aye, sir, that's a grand piano, alright!

Proctor (storms over in anger and astonishment): How the bloody blazes did that get there?

Cheever (hiding from proctor from behind piano): I had my doubts, Proctor, but this is hard proof! (To Hale) You see sir it is a grand piano!

Hale (shaking his head as he realizes he's the most sane person in the room): So what proof is a grand piano?

Cheever (a bit confused on what to say): Don't know... but I am sure it is a notorious sign of witchcraft!

Herrick: It would take a witch to put a big grand piano in a poppet!

Cheever: Aye, you see, we must put your wife under arrest for this good, solid proof!

Proctor: What the blazes would I do with a grand piano, anyway?

Hale: Grand pianos are said to be the devil's instruments.

Elizabeth (thrusting her arms into to the air with anguish): I have not kept any grand pianos since I were a girl!

Cheever: A likely story, but we all know a grand piano can keep a long time, don't we, Herrick?

Hale: How can you be sure it was Elizabeth who put the grand piano in the poppet?

Giles (standing up in a fit of anger): What are you saying, Hale? Do you call John a witch?

Hale (who knows it is unwise to mess with Giles Corey): Why... why no, Giles, I was only saying that...

Giles (picking up the grand piano ready to thrust it at Hale): You shall not accuse John of witchcraft, nor his wife, nor mine!

Mary Warren (runs in): I go your way no more, you are the devil's man! (Giles drops the piano on Frances Nurse in shock.)

Cheever: Well, at least we're arresting someone tonight! Sorry, John, nothing personal… come, Herrick, get the chains!

Proctor: Have no fear, Elizabeth; I will fall like an ocean on- (but he is pulled of the stage before he could finish.)
