This was my last chance to hide the truth from the towns people
This was my last chance to stop Hester from making the second biggest mistake yet
If only I had succeeded with my last chance
Just as Hester made her way up to the scaffold, I escaped from the crowd and told Dimmsdale:
"Madman, hold! What is your purpose ? Wave back that women! Cast off this child! all shall be well! Do not blacken your fame, and perish in dishonor! I can yet save you! Would you bring infamy on your sacred profession?" (398)Dimmsdale's reaction-help Hester up onto the scaffold! That man is crazy. I can't help him anymore. He will certainly perish in shame now!
