Syonpsis of section 2, Chapters 6-10

Chapter 6 is all about Pearl. Pearl is a very mischevious child whom the author often describes as "elfish" or "impish". She seems to know a lot more then she should at a young age. One very intersting thing about her is the way she is fascinated by the scarlet letter. She always touches it, and throws things at it. She is not accepted by the other children in the town.
In Chapter 7 Hester takes Pearl to the house of Governer Bellingham because she has to deliver something she has made for him. In his house there is a suit of armor, which distorts the image of Hester and makes the scarlet letter look huge. Pearl sees a rosebush outside the window and screams.
In Chapter 8 a group of men come into the room with Hester and Pearl. They ask why she was even allowed to keep Pearl, and then contemplate taking her away after Pearl will not answer them. Dimmesdale convinces them not to though, and Pearl goes and holds Dimmesdale's hand. Chillingworth is one of the men there and he tries to pry into the case of who the father actually is.
In Chapter 9 we find out that Dimmesdale, the minister, is sick. He is so sick in fact that a doctor, Chillingworth, has to stay with him at all times. Nobody knows Chillingworth's true identity. This is the chapter were we begin to have a pretty good idea that Dimmesdale is in fact the father of Pearl.
In Chapter 10 Dimmesdale and Chillingworth are talking one day when Pearl and Hester walk past. Pearl is hooking burs onto Hester's A, and then throws one at Dimmesdale. Chillingworth asks Dimmesdale about hidden sin, and we can see that Chillingworth is into Dimmesdale. Then one night Chillingworth goes into Dimmesdale's room and rips off his shirt. He finds Dimmesdale's equivalent of a scarlet letter.
