When Abigail is alone with John, what claim does she make ?

Before the play begins Abigail worked for the Proctors- a
common job for unmarried women during the time.  When she is alone with John Proctor,
she makes several claims.  She claims that she and John were together intimately before
his wife fired her. He resists her flirting and suggests that this is not true, and if
it was their time together is now over and done with.  He decrees that he will "cut off
his hand" before thinking about reaching out towards her again.  This dismissal hurts
the young girl, who clearly still harbors feelings for her married former
employer.
