Chilling Worth’s Diary( Chapter 7-10)

In three years or so since I had come to town and had earned reputation as a skilled Doctor.         I am Reverend Dimmesdale’s personal Doctor and had become his close friend as well. Dimmesdale needed a Doctor of his own, because his health seemed to get worse each week. Today I began to wonder if something else- something secret- was wearing away at Dimmesdale. When Hester and Pearl were asked by Reverend Wilson I smiled, then whispered something to Reverend Dimmesdale.  After seven years I looked darker, more evil, and more physically deformed than before. While Dimmesdale was arguing on side of Pearl and Hester I told him that he seem to take an unusual interest in that case. I watched the little girl as she skipped happily down the hall.

None of the townspeople , not even Dimmesdale, had figured out that I was actually Hester’s long-lost husband. In order not to be associated with Hester’s shame, I continued to keep my identity a secret. In fact, for a while, I am very popular in town. Having learned about medicine in my studies, I was easily able to trick the townspeople in to believing I was a real Doctor. Many people believed that I was a gift to the town from God, sent to heal and care for Reverend Dimmesdale. I began to spend more and more time together with Dimmesdale . As our friendship  grew, I convinced Dimmesdale that we should live in the same house. Although we had separate rooms, I was able to keep a close eye on my patient.
