Rebecca: "I think she will wake in time, pray calm yourselves. I have eleven children and I am twenty-six times a grandma, and I have seen them all through their silly seasons, and when it come on them they will run the Devil bowlegged keeping up with their mischief. I think she’ll wake when she tires of it." (151)

This quote relates to Scarlet Letter in which Hester is troubled by Pearl. In a sense, children can be troubling and annoying at times like Pearl could be angelic and demon-like the next. However, Hester learned to love Pearl. This quote relates to Scarlet Letter."
