"'What a strange, sad man he is!' said the child, as if peaking partly to herself. 'In the dark night-time, he calls us to him, and holds thy hand and mine, as when we stood with him on the scaffold yonder! And in the deep forest, where only the old trees can hear, and the strip of sky see it, he talks with thee, sitting on a heap of moss! And he kisses my forehead, too, so that the little brook would hardly wash it off! But here in the sunny day, and among all the people, he know us not; not must we know him! A strange, sad man he is, with his hand always over his heart!'" (210)
This quote stood out to me because it's ironic that the one child in the town that people think is from devil origin is the only one who understood who Dimmesdale really was.
