Quote from The Crucible act 1

"Abigail. 'John - I am waitin' for you every night.' [. . .] Abigail. 'You're surely sportin' with me.'" (Page 149)

This quote is related to The Scarlet Letter, because this part is related to adultery and usual close relationship. In the Scarlet Letter, Dimmesdale and Hester have an unusual relationship between them. Dimmesdale hugs Hester on the scaffold, talks to Hester, and defends for them. In this quote, Abigail not only mention they have been "sporting" with each other. She also called Proctor by his first name, but not the last name. This shows an unusual relationship between them.
