We hear rumors of Pearl being taken from Hester for either of two reasons. One
Pearl is thought to be a demon child because of the sinful way she was conceived
and needs to be taken to protect Hester, two at the possibility that Pearl is a
human child the town feels she should be given to better parents then Hester.
The governors Hall is the place of all the commotion in this chapter.
Hester and little Pearl now at age three are on a journey to the governors hall
to deliver some ornate gloves and put Hester's mind at ease by questioning
Governor Bellingham about Pearl being taken from her.
