And so it is the seventeenth century
             And she is wearing the Scarlet Letter
             And a deformed man stands in the crowd
             standing for three hours and wearing the "A" forever
             And Hester refuses to name whom she had the affair with
             and he says "he will be known! he will be known!"
             and Pearl writhes in painful convulsions
             and Chillingworth comes to give her medicine
             And he urges Hester to take a sedative
             but wants to know who the father is while secretly holding on to his own identity
             and lives in a small seaside cottage
             rather than somewhere else in the world
             and there's a great demand for clothing worn at official ceremonies
             and despite the popularity of her sewing
             Hester is still a target of abuse and a social outcast
             And "of great price" grows
             with a character of disrespect for authority
             And Hester and Pearl are companions
             and Pearl throws stones and violent words at children
             with a demand of where she came from and denying the Heavenly Father
             And Hester fears of rumors about Pearl being taken away
             and she sets out for Governor Bellingham's mansion
