Deputy Governor Danforth tells Proctor that Elizabeth is pregnant and will not be harmed until after the baby is born. What does Procter do after that?

After Deputy Governor Danforth tells John Proctor that Elizabeth, John's wife, has declared that she is pregnant, and that she will be saved for at least a year as a result, John explains that his friends' wives are also accused. Therefore, he feels that he cannot drop his case against the accusing girls. He explains to Danforth that Mary Warren has admitted that she and the other girls were pretending when they claimed to see spirits and lying when they accused people of witchcraft. He eventually names Abigail Williams as a "whore" and insists that Elizabeth fired her as a result of her discovery of his affair with Abigail. Danforth tests this story by questioning Elizabeth, who John has sworn cannot lie; however, she does lie and inadvertently helps to condemn John as a result.
