THE SCARLET LETTER.
By NATHANIEL HAWTHOENE.
While this passed, Hester Prynne had
been standing on her pedesfcal still with
a fixed gaze toward the stranger; so
fixed a gaze that at moments of intense
absorption all other objects in the visi
ble world seemed to vanju, leaving only
hira and her. Such an interview per
haps would have been mere terrible than
even to meet him as she now did, with
the hot, midday sun burning down upon
her face and lighting up its shame;
with the scarlet" token of infamy on her
breast; with the sin born infant in her
arms; with a whole people, drawn forth
as to a festival, staring at the features
that should have been seen only in the
quiet gleam of the fireside, in the happy
shadow of a home or beneath a matron
ly veil at church. Dreadful as It' was,
die was conscious of a shelter in the
oifice two doors below Thomas & Aycocke's
ilrux ntore, adjoining Dr. O. L. Ellis.

presence of theso ti:out,unJ witnesses.
It was better to stand thus, with eo
many betwixt him and her, than to greet
him face to face, they two alone. She
fled for refuge, as it were, to the public
exposure, and dreaded the moment when
its protection should be withdrawn from
her. Involved in these thoughts, she
scarcely heard a voice behind her until
it had repeated her name nioro than
once in a loud and solemn tone, audible
to the whole multitude.
"Hearten unto me, Hester Prynne P
said the voice.
It has already been noticed that direct
ly over the platform on which Hester
Prynne stood was a kind of balcony or
open gallery appended to the meeting
house. It was the place whence procla
mations were wont to be made, amid
an assemblage of the magistracy, with
all the ceremonial that attended 6uch
public observances in those days. Here,
to witness the scene which we are de
scribing, sat Governor Bellingham him
self, with four sergeants about his chair,
bearing halberds, as a guard of honor.
He wore a dark feather in his hat, a bor
der of embroidery on his cloak and a
black velvet tunic beneath a gentleman
advanced in years with a hard experi
ence written in his wrinkles. He was
not ill fitted to be the head and repre
sentative of a community which owed its
origin and progress and its present state
of development, not to the impulses of
youth, but to the stern and tempered en
ergies cf manhood and the somber sa
gacity of age, nccomplishing so much
precisely because it imagined and hoped
so little.
The other eminent characters, ty
whom the chief ruler was surrounded,
were distinguished by a dignity of
mien, belonging to a period when the
forms of authority were felt to ossess
the sacredness of divine institutions.
They were, doubtless, good men, jut
and sage. But, out of the whole hu
man family, it would not have boeu
easy to select the same number of wise
and virtuous persons who should be less
capable of sitting in judgment on an
erring woman's heart and disentangling,
its mesh of good and evil than the sages
of rigid aspect toward whom Hester
Prynne now turned her face. Irfhe seemed
conscious, indeed, that whatever syin-path-
she might expect lay in the larger
and warmer heart of the multitude; for
as she lifted her eyes toward the balcony
the unhappy woman grew pale and
trembled.
The voice which had called her atten
tion was that of the reverend and fa
mous John Wilecn, the eldest clergy
man of Boston, a great scholar, like
most of his contemporaries in the pro
fession, and withal a man of kind and
genial spirit. This last attribute, how
ever, had been less carefully developed
than his intellectual gifts, and was, in
truth, rather a matter of shame than
self congratulation with him. . There be
stood, with a border, of grizzled lock3
beneath his skull cap; while his gray
eyes, accustomed to the shaded light of
his study, were winking, like those of
Hester's infant, in the unadulterated
sunshine. He looked like the darkly
engraved portraits winch we see pie
fixed to old volumes of sermons, and
had no more right than one of those
portraits would have to step forth, as he
now did, and meddle with a question cf
human guilt, passion and anguish.
"Hester Prynne," said the clergyman,
"I have striven with my young brother
here, under whose preaching of the
word you have been privileged to sit"
Here Mr. Wilson laid his, hand on the
shoulder of a pale young man beside
him. "I have sought, I say, to persuade
this godly youth that he should deal
with you hero in the face of heaven and
before these wise and upright rulers and
in hearing of all the people as touching
the vileness and blackness of j-our sin.
Knowing your " natural temper better
than I, he could better judge what argu
ments to use, whether of tenderness cr
terror, such as might prevail over your
hardness and obstinacy, insomuch that
you should no longer hide the name of
him who tempted you to this grievous
fall. But he opposes to me (with a
young man's oversoftness, albeit wise
beyond bis years) that it were wronging
the very nature cf woman to force her
to lay open her heart's secrets in such
broad daylight and in the presence of
so great a multitude. Ti-uly. as I sought
to convince him, the shame "lay in the
commission of the sin, and not in the
showing of it forth. What say you to it
-once again, Brother Dimmesdale? Must
it be thou or I that shall deal with this
poor sinner's soul?"
There was a murmur among the dig
nified and reverend occupants of the
balcony, and Governor Bellingham gave
expression, to its purport, speaking in an
authoritative voice, although tempered
with respect toward the youthful clergy
man, whom he addressed.
"Good Master Dimmesdale,' said he,
"the responsibility of this woman's soul
lies greatly with you. U behooves you,
therefore, to exhort her to repentance
and to confession as a proof and conse
quence thereof."
The directness of this appeal drew the
eyespf. the. whole :ofd upon the Rev
erend Mr. Dimmesdale, a young clergy
man who had come from one of the
great English universities, bringing all
the learning of the age Into our wild
forest land. His eloquence and religious
fervor had already given the earnest of
high eminence in his profession. He
was a person of very striking aspect,
with a white, lofty and impending
brow, large, brown, melancholy eyes,
and a month which, unless when he
forcibly compressed it, was apt to be
tremulous, expressing both nervous sen
sibility and a vast power of self restraint.
Notwithstanding his high native gifts
and scholariike attainments there was
an air about this young minister an
apprehensive, a startled, a half frighten
ed look as of a being who felt himself
quite astray and at a ioss in the pathway
ofhuman existence, and could only be
a i ease in some seclusion or ms own.
Therefore, so far as his duties would per
mit, he trod in the shadowy bypaths and
thus kept himselr simple and childlike,
coiiimg forth, when occasion was, with
a freshness and fragrance and dewy
card demeanor, 6he was led back to
prison, and vanished from the public
gaze within its iron clamped portal. It
was whispered by those who peered after
her that the scarlet letter threw a lurid
gleam along the dark passageway of Uie
interior.
CHAPTER HL
THK INTKI5VIKW.
After her return to the prison, Hester
Pryune was found to bo ia state of
nervous excitement that demanded con
stant watchf ulneas. lest she should per
petrate violence on herself or do some
half frenzied mischief to the por babe.
As night approached, it proving impos
sible to quell her insubordinjition by
rebuke or threats of punishmeui, Master
Brackett, the jailer, thought fit" to intro
duce a physician. He described" him as
a man of skill in all Christian modtw of
physical science, and likewise fumilir
with whatever tha aavags poop! could

scarlet letter, which forthwith seemed

Without further crpostulr. tion or de

at the motion of the man of s kiil seated
j herself cn the bed where the child wu

said, affected them like the speech of -j
angel.
Such was the young man whom the
Reverend Mr. Wilson and the govt'rnoi
had introduced so openly to the public
notice, bidding him speak in the heanii
of all men to that mystery of a woman's
soul, so sacred even ia its pollution
The trying nature of his position drove
tho blood from his cheek and made his
lips tremulous.
"Speak to the woman, my brother.
said Mr. Wilson. "It is of moment to
her soul, and therefore, as the worship
ful governor says, momentous to thine!
own, in whose charge her3 is. Exhort j
her to confess the truth!" !
Tho Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale bent hi? i
bead in silent prayer, as it seemed, and '
then came forward. i
"Hester Prynne, "said he, lcnnirgover
the balcony and looking down steadfast
ly into her eyes, "thou hearest what this
good man says and seest the accounta
bility under which I htbor. If thou feel
est it to be for thy soul's peace, and that
thy earthly punishment will thereby be
made more effectual to salvation, I
charge thee to speak out the name of thy
fellow sinner and fellow sufferer! L!o j
not silent from any mistaken pity and ;
tenderness for him; for. believe me, lies- ;
ter, though lie were to step down from j
a high place and stand there beside thee
on thy pedestal of shame, yet better were
it so than to hide a guilty heart through ;
life. What can thy silence do for him.
except it tempt him yea, compel h.im.
as it were to add hypocrisy to sin? j
Heaven hath granted thee an open ino- !
miuy, that thereby thou mayest work
out an open triumph over the evil within
thee and the sorrow without. Take heed
how thou densest to him who pen-lmt:-e
hath not the courage to grasp it for him j
self the bitter but wholesome cr.p that
is now presented to thy lips!"
The young pastor's voice was trem-
ulously sweet, rich, deep and broken. .
The fceliur' that it so evidently mani
fested, rather than the direct pui:it of ;
the words, caused it to vibrate within '
all hearts, aud brought the listeners
into one accord of sympathy. Even the
poor baby at Hesters bo.u.m v.v.s af
fected by the same inuiieiice. f"r it
directed its hitherto vacant gaze toward
Mr. Dimmesdale aud held up its little
arms with a half ph ased, hail" plaintive !
murmur. So powerful seemed the mm- '
ister's appeal that the people could not
believe but that Hester Prynne would
speak out the guilty uame, or else that
the guilty one himself, in whatever
high or lowly place he stood, would he
drawn forth by an inward and inevita
ble necessity, and compelled to ascend
tho scaffold.
Hester shook her head.
"Woman, transgress not beyond the
limits of heaven's mercy !" cried the Rev
erend Mr. Wilson more harshly than l;e--fore.
"That little babe hath been girted
with a voice to secoud and confirm the
counsel which thou hast heard. Speak
out the name! mat ami thy repentance
may avail to take tho scarlet letter off
thy breast."
"Never!" replied Hester Prynne. 1 xi--ing
not at Mr. Wilson, but i::to the :!w;p
and troubled eyed of the younger clergy
man. "It is too deeply branded. Ye
cannot take it off. And would that 1
might endure his agony as well as mine!"
"Speak, woman!" said another voice
coldly and sternly, proceeding from the
crowd about the scaffold. "Speak, and
give your child a father!"
"1 will not speak!" answered Hester
turning pale as death, but responding to
this voice, which she too surely recog
nized. "And m)' child must seek a heav
enly father; she 6hall never know an
earthly one!"
"She will not speak!" murmured Mr j
Dimmesdale, who. leaning over the bal
cony with his hand upon his heart, had
awaited tho result of his appeal. He
now drew back with a long respiration
"Wondrous strength and generosity of a
wToman's heart! She will not speak 1"
Discerning the impracticable state of
the poor culprit's mind the elder clergy
man, who had carefully prepared himself
for the occasion, addressed to the mnlti
tude a discourse on sin in all its branches,
but with continual reference to the igno
minious letter. So forcibly did he dwell
upon this symbol for the hour or more
during wnich hi3 periods were rolling
over the people's heads that it assumed
new terrors in their imagination, aud
seemed to derive its scarlet hue from the
flames of the infernal pit
Hester Prynne, meanwhile, kept her
place upon the pedestal of shame, with
glazed eyes and an air of weary indiffer
ence. She had borue that morning all
that nature could endure, and as her
temperament was not of the order that
escapes from too intense suffering by a
swoon, her spirit could only shelter itself
beneath a stony crust of insensibility
while the faculties of animal life re
mained entire. In this state the voice of
the preacher thundered remorselessly.
but una vail ingly, upon her ears. The
infant, during the latter portion t)f her
ordeal, pierced the air with its wailing
and screams; she Rtrpve to hush it. me
chanically, but seemed scarcely to syui-
pathize with its. trouble. With the same
the truth, there was much need of pro
fessional assistance, not merely f ,i Hes
ter herself, but still more urgently for
the child; whe, drawing lto sustenance
from the maternal bosom, seemed to
have drank in with it nil the turmoil,
the anguish and despair which per
vaded the mother's system. It now
writhed in convulsions cf pain, and was
a forctblo typo, in iUs little frame, of the
moral agony which Hester Prynne had
borne throughout tho day.
Closely following the jnilor into the
dismal apartment appeared that indi
vidual of singular cpvt whose pres
ence in the crowd had been of Mich deep
interest to the wearer cf the scarlet let-
ter. He was lodged in the prion, net
as suspected of any effen.-e, but as the
most convenient and Fuitahio mode of
disposing of him until the magistrates
should have conferred with tlm Indian
sagamores respecting his ransom. His
name was announced aa Itoger Chilling-
, worth The jaiU-r after ushering him I
into the room remained a moment, mar
veling Ht the comparative ;uiet that ful- ,
lowed his entrance; for II est or Prynne
had immediately Ix-rome ils still as
death, although the child continued to j
moan. I
'Prithee, friend, leave mo alone with !
my patient," faid the practitioner. '
"Trust me. good jailer, on shall briefly
have pence in your house; and 1 promise ,
you Mistress IVynno :aii hereafter bo

He presented the cup to He3ter. who
received it with a slow, earnest look into
his face not precisely a look of fear,
yet full of doubt and questioning as to
what his purposes might be. She looked
also at her slumbering child.
