This chapter is also set in the governors hall. Hester and Pearl are in a
corridor looking around at the marvels and history of the
governors mansion, when Bellingham, Wilson, Chillingsworth, and Dimmesdale
walk in talking. They immediately notice Pearl and begin to tease and poke fun
at the innocent little child. As they make fun Bellingham notions that Hester is
in the room as well. They question her asking why should she be able to keep her
child. Hester says that she can teach Pearl an important lesson learned in her
shame. They are obviously skeptical, so she turns to Dimmesdale for help. He is
able to convince them to let her keep Pearl because she symbolizes Hester's
blessings as well as her curse. Chillingsworth objects showing his mean side as
he pleads for them to investigate who fathered Pearl again.
