The young woman stood fully revealed (Frontispiece)


 



Hawthorne in the Custom-House



Surveyor Pue and Hawthorne





"Goodwives," said a hard-featured dame, "I tell ye a piece of my mind."



A crowed of  eager and curious schoolboys



Illuminating...the dusky mirror



Hester seated herself on the bed



There dwelt, there trode, the feet of one



Children would creep nigh enough to behold her



Hester at her needle



A young maiden glancing at the scarlet letter



She saw the children disporting themselves



Governer Bellingham  appeared to be showing off his Estate


Usually a vast favourite with children



Into the sunny day was thrust the face of Mistress Hibbins



Mr. Dimmesdale's flock



A pious widow, of good social rank



One day, leaning his forehead on his hand



To such an unanted remoteness



Good Father Wilson was moving homeward



A blazing spear...in the midnight sky



None so self-devoted as Hester



"It is our Hester"



She beheld the old physician in quest of roots and herb



The old dame in the chimney corner



"What does this sad little brook say, mother?"



The oid dame in the chimney corner



"What does this sad little brook say, mother?"



She beheld the minister advancing



"So, reverend Sir, you have made a visit into the forest,"observed the witch-lady



They were rough-looking desperados



With purpose to snatch a kiss



Hester at the foot of the scaffold
