"
Come
,
my
child
!
"
said
Hester
,
looking
about
her
from
the
spot
where
Pearl
had
stood
still
in
the
sunshine
--
"
we
will
sit
down
a
little
way
within
the
wood
,
and
rest
ourselves
.
"
552
"
I
am
not
aweary
,
mother
,
"
replied
the
little
girl
.
"
But
you
may
sit
down
,
if
you
will
tell
me
a
story
meanwhile
.
"
553
"
A
story
,
child
!
"
said
Hester
.
"
And
about
what
?

"
Oh
,
a
story
about
the
Black
Man
,
"
answered
Pearl
,
taking
hold
of
her
mother
's
gown
,
and
looking
up
,
half
earnestly
,
half
mischievously
,
into
her
face
.
555
"
How
he
haunts
this
forest
,
and
carries
a
book
with
him
a
big
,
heavy
book
,
with
iron
clasps
;
and
how
this
ugly
Black
Man
offers
his
book
and
an
iron
pen
to
everybody
that
meets
him
here
among
the
trees
;
and
they
are
to
write
their
names
with
their
own
blood
;
and
then
he
sets
his
mark
on
their
bosoms
.
Didst
thou
ever
meet
the
Black
Man
,
mother
?
"
556
"
And
who
told
you
this
story
,
Pearl
,
"
asked
her
mother
,
recognising
a
common
superstition
of
the
period
.
557
"
It
was
the
old
dame
in
the
chimney
corner
,
at
the
house
where
you
watched
last
night
,
"
said
the
child
.
"
But
she
fancied
me
asleep
while
she
was
talking
of
it
.
She
said
that
a
thousand
and
a
thousand
people
had
met
him
here
,
and
had
written
in
his
book
,
and
have
his
mark
on
them
.
And
that
ugly
tempered
lady
,
old
Mistress
Hibbins
,
was
one
.
And
,
mother
,
the
old
dame
said
that
this
scarlet
letter
was
the
Black
Man
's
mark
on
thee
,
and
that
it
glows
like
a
red
flame
when
thou
meetest
him
at
midnight
,
here
in
the
dark
wood
.

Is
it
true
,
mother
?
And
dost
thou
go
to
meet
him
in
the
nighttime
?
"
559
"
Didst
thou
ever
awake
and
find
thy
mother
gone
?
"
asked
Hester
.
"
Not
that
I
remember
,
"
said
the
child
.
"
If
thou
fearest
to
leave
me
in
our
cottage
,
thou
mightest
take
me
along
with
thee
.
I
would
very
gladly
go
!
But
,
mother
,
tell
me
now
!
Is
there
such
a
Black
Man
?
And
didst
thou
ever
meet
him
?
And
is
this
his
mark
?
"
560
"
Wilt
thou
let
me
be
at
peace
,
if
I
once
tell
thee
?
"
asked
her
mother
.
