Read the following passage from “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and answer the questions.
1 “There may be a devilish Indian behind every tree,” said Goodman Brown to himself; and he glanced
2 fearfully behind him, as he added, “What if the devil himself should be at my very elbow!”
3 His head being turned back, he passed a crook of the road, and looking forward again, beheld the
4 figure of a man, in grave and decent attire, seated at the foot of an old tree. He arose, at Goodman
5 Brown's approach, and walked onward, side by side with him.
6 “You are late, Goodman Brown,” said he. “The clock of the Old South was striking, as I came through
7 Boston; and that is full fifteen minutes agone.”
8 “Faith kept me back awhile,” replied the young man, with a tremor in his voice, caused by the sudden
9 appearance of his companion, though not wholly unexpected.
10 It was now deep dusk in the forest, and deepest in that part of it where these two were journeying. As
11 nearly as could be discerned, the second traveller was about fifty years old, apparently in the same rank
12 of life as Goodman Brown, and bearing a considerable resemblance to him, though perhaps more in
13 expression than features. Still, they might have been taken for father and son. And yet, though the elder
14 person was as simply clad as the younger, and as simple in manner too, he had an indescribable air of
15 one who knew the world, and would not have felt abashed at the governor's dinner-table, or in King
16 William's court, were it possible that his affairs should call him thither. But the only thing about him
17 that could be fixed upon as remarkable, was his staff, which bore the likeness of a great black snake, so
18 curiously wrought, that it might almost be seen to twist and wriggle itself like a living serpent. This, of
19 course, must have been an ocular deception, assisted by the uncertain light.
20 “Come, Goodman Brown!” cried his fellow-traveller, “this is a dull pace for the beginning of a journey.
21 Take my staff, if you are so soon weary.”
22 “Friend,” said the other, exchanging his slow pace for a full stop, “having kept covenant by meeting
23 thee here, it is my purpose now to return whence I came. I have scruples, touching the matter thou
24 wot'st of.”
