    Abigail was obviously physically involved with Proctor because of his reaction to her in Act I.  She is flirtatious, which was not common in Puritan women.  She was "let go" by the Proctor family after he admitted his adultery to his wife.  Abigail is not welcome in their house.  That is pretty clear even at this early point because of her corruption up to that point in time.
