"
Is
not
this
better
,
"
murmured
he
,
"
than
what
we
dreamed
of
in
the
forest
?
"
"
I
know
not
!
I
know
not
!
"
she
hurriedly
replied
"
Better
?
Yea
;
so
we
may
both
die
,
and
little
Pearl
die
with
us
!
"
"
For
thee
and
Pearl
,
be
it
as
God
shall
order
,
"
said
the
minister
;
"
and
God
is
merciful
!
Let
me
now
do
the
will
which
He
hath
made
plain
before
my
sight
.
For
,
Hester
,
I
am
a
dying
man
.
So
let
me
make
haste
to
take
my
shame
upon
me
!
"
Partly
supported
by
Hester
Prynne
,
and
holding
one
hand
of
little
Pearl
's
,
the
Reverend
Mr.
Dimmesdale
turned
to
the
dignified
and
venerable
rulers
;
to
the
holy
ministers
,
who
were
his
brethren
;
to
the
people
,
whose
great
heart
was
thoroughly
appalled
yet
overflowing
with
tearful
sympathy
,
as
knowing
that
some
deep
life-matter
--
which
,
if
full
of
sin
,
was
full
of
anguish
and
repentance
likewise
--
was
now
to
be
laid
open
to
them
.
The
sun
,
but
little
past
its
meridian
,
shone
down
upon
the
clergyman
,
and
gave
a
distinctness
to
his
figure
,
as
he
stood
out
from
all
the
earth
,
to
put
in
his
plea
of
guilty
at
the
bar
of
Eternal
Justice
.
"
People
of
New
England
!
"
cried
he
,
with
a
voice
that
rose
over
them
,
high
,
solemn
,
and
majestic
--
yet
had
always
a
tremor
through
it
,
and
sometimes
a
shriek
,
struggling
up
out
of
a
fathomless
depth
of
remorse
and
woe
--
"
ye
,
that
have
loved
me
!
--
ye
,
that
have
deemed
me
holy
!
--
behold
me
here
,
the
one
sinner
of
the
world
!
At
last
--
at
last
!
--
I
stand
upon
the
spot
where
,
seven
years
since
,
I
should
have
stood
,
here
,
with
this
woman
,
whose
arm
,
more
than
the
little
strength
wherewith
I
have
crept
hitherward
,
sustains
me
at
this
dreadful
moment
,
from
grovelling
down
upon
my
face
!
Lo
,
the
scarlet
letter
which
Hester
wears
!
Ye
have
all
shuddered
at
it
!
Wherever
her
walk
hath
been
--
wherever
,
so
miserably
burdened
,
she
may
have
hoped
to
find
repose
--
it
hath
cast
a
lurid
gleam
of
awe
and
horrible
repugnance
round
about
her
.
But
there
stood
one
in
the
midst
of
you
,
at
whose
brand
of
sin
and
infamy
ye
have
not
shuddered
!
"
It
seemed
,
at
this
point
,
as
if
the
minister
must
leave
the
remainder
of
his
secret
undisclosed
.
But
he
fought
back
the
bodily
weakness
--
and
,
still
more
,
the
faintness
of
heart
--
that
was
striving
for
the
mastery
with
him
.
He
threw
off
all
assistance
,
and
stepped
passionately
forward
a
pace
before
the
woman
and
the
children
.
"
It
was
on
him
!
"
he
continued
,
with
a
kind
of
fierceness
;
so
determined
was
he
to
speak
out
tile
whole
.
"
God
's
eye
beheld
it
!
The
angels
were
for
ever
pointing
at
it
!
(
The
Devil
knew
it
well
,
and
fretted
it
continually
with
the
touch
of
his
burning
finger
!
)
But
he
hid
it
cunningly
from
men
,
and
walked
among
you
with
the
mien
of
a
spirit
,
mournful
,
because
so
pure
in
a
sinful
world
!
--
and
sad
,
because
he
missed
his
heavenly
kindred
!
Now
,
at
the
death-hour
,
he
stands
up
before
you
!
He
bids
you
look
again
at
Hester
's
scarlet
letter
!
He
tells
you
,
that
,
with
all
its
mysterious
horror
,
it
is
but
the
shadow
of
what
he
bears
on
his
own
breast
,
and
that
even
this
,
his
own
red
stigma
,
is
no
more
than
the
type
of
what
has
seared
his
inmost
heart
!
Stand
any
here
that
question
God
's
judgment
on
a
sinner
!
Behold
!
Behold
,
a
dreadful
witness
of
it
!
"
With
a
convulsive
motion
,
he
tore
away
the
ministerial
band
from
before
his
breast
.
It
was
revealed
!
But
it
were
irreverent
to
describe
that
revelation
.
For
an
instant
,
the
gaze
of
the
horror-stricken
multitude
was
concentrated
on
the
ghastly
miracle
;
while
the
minister
stood
,
with
a
flush
of
triumph
in
his
face
,
as
one
who
,
in
the
crisis
of
acutest
pain
,
had
won
a
victory
.
Then
,
down
he
sank
upon
the
scaffold
!
Hester
partly
raised
him
,
and
supported
his
head
against
her
bosom
.
