"Why you know he is; and you are, in a manner of speaking, bound to look after him. Well, what is to be done?" "He must not, on any account," said Dr. Chillingworth, "be allowed to leave the place. Believe me, I have the very strongest reasons for saying so." "He shall not leave it then," said Henry.
"There can be no sort of suspicion about that," remarked Chillingworth; "but allow me to advise you that you take care of yourself, and keep a watchful eye upon every one do not be seen out alone." "I fear not." "Nay, the gentleman who has disappeared was, I am sure, fearless enough; but yet that has not saved him.
Her fellow-passenger was in far other excitement; he was to see Hawthorne, and in a manner to meet Priscilla and Zenobia, and Hester Prynne and little Pearl, and Miriam and Hilda, and Hollingsworth and Coverdale, and Chillingworth and Dimmesdale, and Donatello and Kenyon; and he had no heart for any such poor little reality as that, who could not have been got into any story that one could respect, and must have been difficult even in a Heinesque poem.
"You would tell me, then, that I know all?" said Roger Chillingworth, deliberately, and fixing an eye, bright with intense and concentrated intelligence, on the minister's face. "Be it so! But again! He to whom only the outward and physical evil is laid open, knoweth, oftentimes, but half the evil which he is called upon to cure.
Such was the ruin to which she had brought the man, once nay, why should we not speak it? still so passionately loved!

"I beg your pardon," Chillingworth said quickly, "but you see this is such a deuced unnatural arrangement." "I understand," St. George assented, "and I'll do my best not to get thrown down.
While occupied with these reflections, a knock came at the door of the study, and the minister said, "Come in!" not wholly devoid of an idea that he might behold an evil spirit. And so he did! It was old Roger Chillingworth that entered. The minister stood white and speechless, with one hand on the Hebrew Scriptures, and the other spread upon his breast.
"I will follow your advice, Mr. Chillingworth," said Henry; "for I have always found that it has been dictated by good feeling as well as correct judgment.
