It is singular, nevertheless, that certain persons, who were spectators of the whole scene, and professed never once to have removed their eyes from the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale, denied that there was any mark whatever on his breast.
Some people are denying that they saw anything. They want to believe the best in evryoine. Especially there minister who is supposed to set the example of what kind of person they should be.
Yes, but why? Does this belief in "the good" in everyone reflect something? If so what? What does it say about these people or this society?
