Scarlet+Letter+Chapter+7

from Mrs. Ryan (#1SLS in EM)

Chapter 7: //The Governor’s Hall//
 * H brings Gov. B gloves she embroidered for him; also there to speak with him about rumor they wish to take P from her
 * P’s clothes just like H’s “A”; children fling mud at them during their trip to Gov. B’s mansion; Pearl reacts; “she screamed and shouted too, with a terrific volume of sound, which, doubtless, caused the hearts of the fugitives to quake within them” (106).
 * Upon arrival at B’s mansion, “the brilliancy might have befitted Aladdin’s palace, rather than the mansion of a grave old Puritan ruler” (106). Servants answer the door, there are suits of armor (where the “scarlet letter was represented in exaggerated and gigantic proportions” making it larger than H ) and there are lush gardens filled with flowers/ roses.
 * B is meeting with CW and two ministers about H and P
