How
dreary
looked
the
forest-track
that
led
backward
to
the
settlement
,
where
Hester
Prynne
must
take
up
again
the
burden
of
her
ignominy
and
the
minister
the
hollow
mockery
of
his
good
name
!
So
they
lingered
an
instant
longer
.
No
golden
light
had
ever
been
so
precious
as
the
gloom
of
this
dark
forest
.
Here
seen
only
by
his
eyes
,
the
scarlet
letter
need
not
burn
into
the
bosom
of
the
fallen
woman
!
Here
seen
only
by
her
eyes
,
Arthur
Dimmesdale
,
false
to
God
and
man
,
might
be
,
for
one
moment
true
!
He
started
at
a
thought
that
suddenly
occurred
to
him
.
"
Hester
!
"
cried
he
,
"
here
is
a
new
horror
!
Roger
Chillingworth
knows
your
purpose
to
reveal
his
true
character
.
Will
he
continue
,
then
,
to
keep
our
secret
?
What
will
now
be
the
course
of
his
revenge
?
"
"
There
is
a
strange
secrecy
in
his
nature
,
"
replied
Hester
,
thoughtfully
;
"
and
it
has
grown
upon
him
by
the
hidden
practices
of
his
revenge
.
I
deem
it
not
likely
that
he
will
betray
the
secret
.
He
will
doubtless
seek
other
means
of
satiating
his
dark
passion
.
"
"
And
I
!
--
how
am
I
to
live
longer
,
breathing
the
same
air
with
this
deadly
enemy
?
"
exclaimed
Arthur
Dimmesdale
,
shrinking
within
himself
,
and
pressing
his
hand
nervously
against
his
heart
--
a
gesture
that
had
grown
involuntary
with
him
.
"
Think
for
me
,
Hester
!
Thou
art
strong
.
Resolve
for
me
!
"
"
Thou
must
dwell
no
longer
with
this
man
,
"
said
Hester
,
slowly
and
firmly
.
"
Thy
heart
must
be
no
longer
under
his
evil
eye
!
"
"
It
were
far
worse
than
death
!
"
replied
the
minister
.
"
But
how
to
avoid
it
?
What
choice
remains
to
me
?
Shall
I
lie
down
again
on
these
withered
leaves
,
where
I
cast
myself
when
thou
didst
tell
me
what
he
was
?
Must
I
sink
down
there
,
and
die
at
once
?
"
"
Alas
!
what
a
ruin
has
befallen
thee
!
"
said
Hester
,
with
the
tears
gushing
into
her
eyes
.
"
Wilt
thou
die
for
very
weakness
?
There
is
no
other
cause
!
"
"
The
judgment
of
God
is
on
me
,
"
answered
the
conscience-stricken
priest
.
"
It
is
too
mighty
for
me
to
struggle
with
!
"
