It was vritb a fculini- which neither of
them had ever before experienced that I
they sat and watched Pearl's slow ad-
vance. In her was visible the tie that
united them. She had been offered to
the world these seven years past as the
living hieroglyphic, in which was re
vealed the secret they so darkly sought
to hide all written in this symbol all
plainly manifest had there been a
prophet or magician skilled to read the
character of Same! And Pearl was the
oneness of their being. Be the foregone
evil what it uiiirht. how could thev
doubt that their earthly lives and future
destinies were conjoined, when they bo-
held at once the material union and the
spiritual idea in whom they met and
were to dwell immortally to-rether?
J -
Thoughts like these and perhaps other
thoughts, which they did not acknowl
edge or define threw an awe about the
child as she came onward.
"Let her see nothing strange no pas
sion nor eagerness tu in v. ay of ac
costing her." whirr.ered Hester. -Our
Pearl is a fitful and fantastic little elf
sometimes. Lsneeialhv she is seldom
tolerant of emotion, when she does not
fully comprehend the why and where
fore. Cut the child hath strong affec
tions! She loves me and will love thee!"
"Thou canst not think," said the min
ister, glancing aside at Hester Prvnne.
how my heart dreads this interview
and yearns for it! Cut in truth, as I al
ready told thee, children are not readily
won to be familiar with me. They will
not climb my knee, nor prattle in my
ear, nor answer to my smile; but stand
apart and eye me strangely. Even lit
tle babes, when 1 take them in my arms,
weep bitterly. Yet Pearl twice in her
little lifetime hath been kirl to me! j
The first- time thou knowest it well! :
The last was when thou ledst her with '
thee to the house of yonder stern old ,
governor."
"And thou didst plead so bravely in
her behalf and mine!" answered the
mother. "1 remember it, and so shall
little Pearl. Fe;:r nothing! She may
be strange and shy at first, but will soon
learn to love thee!"
By this time Pearl had reached the
margin of the brook, and stood on the
farther side, gazing silently at Hester
and the clergyman, who still sat to
gether on the mossy tree J:'unk, waiting
to receive her. Just where she had
paused the brook chanced to form a
pool, so smooth and quiet that it re
flected a perfect image of her little iig
are, with all the brilliant picturcxpae
ness of her bear.ty. in irs adornment of
Cowers ; id wreathed foliage. Put more
refined and spiritualized than the real
ity. This image, so nearly identical wi'h
the living Pearl, feeulvd to communicate
somewhat of its own shadowy and m
tangible pu:lby to the child herself, li
Wiis strange, the way in which Pearl
stool, looking so steadfastly at them
through the aim medium of the forest

as i:
the child, in her lonely ramble through
the forest, had s . ayed out of the sphere
in which she and her mother dwelt to
get her. and was now vainly seeking to
return to it.
There was both truth and error in the
impression; the child and mother were
estranged, but through Hester's fault,
not Pearl's. Since the latter rambled
from her side another inmate had been
admitted within the circle of the moth
er's feelings, and so modified the aspect
of them all that Pearl, the returning
wanderer, could not find her wonted
place, and hardly knew where she was.
"1 have a strange fancy," observed the
sensitive minister, "that this brook is
the boundary between two worlds, and
thou canst never meet thy Pearl again.
Or ia she an elfish spirit, who, as the
legends of our childhood taught us, is
forbidden to cross a running stream?
Pray hasten her, for this delay has al
ready imparted a tremor to my nerves."
"Come, dearest child!" said Hester en
couragingly, and stretching out both
her arms. "How slow thou art! When
hast thou been so sluggish before now?
Here is a friend of mine, v. ho must be
thy friend also. Thou wilt havewice
as much love henceforward as thy
mother alone could give thee! Leap
across the brook and come to us. Thou
canst leap like a young deer!"
Pearl, without responding in any man
ner to these honey sweet expressions, re
mained on the other side of the brook.
Now she fixed her bright, wild ej-es on
her mother, now on the minister, and
now included them both in the same
glance, as if to detect and explain to
herself the relation which they bore to
one another. For some unaccountable
reason, as Arthur Dinimesdale felt the
child's eyes upon himself, his hand
with that gesture so habitual as to have
become involuntary' stole over his
heart. At "length, assuming a singular
air j)f authority,' Pearl stretched out her
hand, with the small forefinger extend
ed and pointing evidently toward her
mother's breast. And beneath, in the
mirror of tho brook, there Avas the flower
girdled and sunny image of little PearJ
pointing her small forefinger too.
"Thou strange child, why dost thou
not come to me?" exclaimed Hester.
Pearl still pointed with her forefinger,
and a frown gathered on her brow the
more impressive from the childish, the
almost babylike aspect of the features
that conveyed it. ""As her mother still
kept beckoning to her, and arraying her
face in a holiday wiit of unaccustomed
smiles, the child stamped her foot with
a yet more imperious look and gesture.
In the brook again was the fantastic
beauty of the image, with its reflected
frown, its pointed finger and imperious
gesture, giving emphasis to the aspect of
little Pearl.
"Hasten, Pearl, or 1 shall be angry
with thee!" cried Hester Prynne, who,
however inured to such behatior on the
elf child's part at other seasons, was
naturally anxious for a more feemly de-
. pertinent now. "Leap across the brook.
I naughty child, and run hi-her! Llse 1
: must come to thee!"
I But Pearl, not a whit startled at her
! mother's threats, any more than molli
' tied by her entreaties, now suddenly
; burst into a fit of passion, gesticulating
j violently and throwing her small figure
I into the most extravagant contortions.
; She accompanied this wild outbreak
: with piercing shrieks, winch the woods
. reverberated on all sid.es; so that.-alone
j aa she was in iier childish and un reason -I
able wrath, it seemed as if a hidden
! raultitude-vere lending her their sym
i pathy and encouragement. Seen in the
brook once more was the shadowy wraith
j of-Pearl's image, crowned and girdled
, with flowers, but stamping its foot.
I wildly gesticulating, and in the midst of
i all stili pointing its small forefinger at
I Hester's bosom!
"1 see what ails the child," whispered
Hester to the clergyman, and turning
pale in spite of a strong effort to conceal
nor trouble and auiMy,n,u. Children
will not abide any, the slightest, change
in the accustomed aspect of things that
are daily before their ryes. Pearl
misses something-which she" has always
me wear!"
"I pray you." answered the minister,
"if thou hast any means of pacifying the
child, do it forthwith! Save it were the
cankered wrath of an old
witch, like
attempt in
Mistress Hibbins," added he.
to smite, "1 know notlnng that I would
npt sooner encounter than this passion
in a child. In Pearl's young beauty, a.
in the wrinkled witch, it has a preter
natural euect. Pacify her, if thou lovet
me!"
Hester turned again toward Pearl,
with a crimson blush upon her cheek, a
conscious glance aside at the clergy man
and then a heavy sigh; while, evtn be
fore she had time to speak, the blush
yielded to a deadly pallor.
"Pearl," said she sa ily, "look down at
thy feet! There! before thee! on the
hither side of the brook!"
The child turned her eyes to the point
indicated, and there lay the scarlet let
ter, so close upon the margin of the
stream that the gold embroidery was re
flected in it.
"Bring it hither!" said Hester.
'Ccme thou and tako it up!" answered
Pearl.
"Was ever such a child!" observed
Hester aside to the minister. "Oh. 1

ike fading
sunshine and a gray shadow seemed to
fall across her.
When the dreary change was wrought
she extended her hand to Pearl.
"Dost thou know thy mother now,
child?" asked she reproachfully, bnt
with a subdued tone. "Wilt thou come
across the brook and own thy mother,
now that she has her shame upon her
now that she is sad?"
"Yes; now I will!" answered the child
bounding across the brook, ami clasp
ing Hester in her arms. "Now thou art
my mother indeed! And I am thy little
Pearl!"
In a mood of tenderness that was not
usual with her the drew down her
mother's head and hissed her brow and
both her cheeks. Cut then by a kind
of necessity that always impcjled this
child to alloy whatever comfort she
might chance to give with a throb of
anguish Pearl put up her mouth, and
kissed the scarlet letter too!
"That was not kind!" said Hester.
"When thou hast shown me a little love,
thou mockest me!"
"Why doth tho minister sit yonder?"
asked Pearl.
"He waits to welcome thee." replied
her mother. "Come, thou, and entre at
his blessing! He love-j thee, my little
Pearl, and loves thy mother too. Wilt
thou net love him? Come; he longs to
greet thee!"
"Doth he love us?" said Pearl, looking
np with acute intelligence into her
mother's face. "Will he go back with
us, hand in band, Ave three together, into
the town?"
"Not now, dear child," answered Hes
ter. "Cut in days to come he will walk
hand in hand with ns. We will have a
home and fireside of our own, and thou
shalt sit upon his knee and he will teach
thee many things and love thee dearly.
Thou wilt love him. wilt thou not?"
"And will he always keep his hand
over his heart?" inquired Pearl.
"Foolish child, what a question is
that!" exclaimed her mother. "Come
and ask hii blessing!"
But whether influenced by the jeal
ousy that seems instinctive with every
petted child toward a dangerous rival or
from whatever caprice of her freakish
nature, Pearl would show no favor to the
clergyman. It was only by an exertion
of force that her mother brought her up
to him, hanging back and manifesting
her reluctance by odd grimaces; of
which, ever since her babyhood, she had
possessed. a singular variety, unci could
transform her jnobile physiognomy into
a series of different aspects, Avith a new
