Pg 200
‘Be quiet, Pearl! Thou understandest not these things, said her mother.’
Hester quiets Pearl and tells her not to acknowledge Dimmesdade because she still believes she needs to keep their love secret in order to preserve it. This logic is the same that lead her to lying about the sin in the first place. Their love is based on deception. Pearl is really the only one who understands their love because she is unconstrained by the rules of Puritanism.

Pg 134  ‘But before speaking a light….. shall unite all the letter A- marked out in lines of dull red light..’

Dimmesdale thinks he is being haunted when he see the light form into a letter A. Red symbolizes Pearl because she wears that color. This represents their little family. Although, at this point, the A no longer a symbol of evil because Hester through her good deeds has turned the A into something good. Hester has always admitted to her wrongdoing and has become a stronger person because of the A.

Pg 125    ‘I, your pastern, whom you all reverence….. he loaded for his miserable self.’

Dimmesdale is not able to make a confession that would release him from his inner torment because he is too weak. He tries a pathetic public confession saying that he sinned and did a terrible thing, but his congregation doesn’t think he could do anything that bad and find him in even higher esteem because of that.

"And there stood the minister, with his hand over his heart; and Hester Prynne, with the embroidered letter glimmering on her bosom and little Pearl, herself as a symbol, and the connecting link between the two...is if it were the light that is to reveal all secrets, and the daybreak that shall unite all who belong to one another."

Dimmesdale and Hester with A's and scarlet Pearl, the embodiment of the color and letter, are finnaly standing together as a familly. The sad part is that no one is there to see them. They also happen to be in the light from a meteor, which is red, and light which equals good, so by the transitive property their family equals good as long as Dimmesdale comes out about it.
