Roger Chillingworth

"Let the black flower blossom as it may!"

"Behold, I am not! If that be thy sole objection, I may yet be of service."

"One token of thy shame, Hester,—that on thy breast!"

"Art thou capable of turning this to profit, both monetary and ecclesiastical?"

"Thou and I, Hester, never knew what exquisite torture it is to know an enemy."

"He has taught me much, and will teach me more yet."

"Live, therefore, and keep a watchful eye upon thyself!"

"Thou knowest that I am a man of thought; the book, the pen, the desk, are rightly mine."

"Thou didst refuse to exert thy power to the fullest extent."

"The wretched minister!—he has kept his secret well."

"My poor, wronged friend!—how he torments himself!"

"Madame, I must earnestly beseech you."

"Of penance I have had enough! None knows better than I."

"Dost thou not feel, then, a desire of revenge against thy enemy?"

"She repaid my love with the blackest treachery."

"Better to die than to live in shame."

"I have her! Behold the scarlet letter."

"The curse of this household shall pass down generations."

"Thou hast escaped me!"

"Hadst thou sought the whole wide world over"

"Thou wilt take her with thee? She is thine own child!"

"I have already told thee what I am! A fiend!"

"Now I know thy secret!"

"I have a strange joy in thy curse"

"I pity thee, for the good that has been wasted in thy nature!"

"Thou art not evil!—yet hadst thou great in thy nature."

"Here is the girl by whose means thou shalt have thy will."

"I am resolved to know the truth of the matter."

"Keep, therefore, the secret, as thou valuest thy life!"

"Wilt thou yet forgive me?"
