"Friend，" said he， stubbornly， "my mind is made up. Not another step will I budge on this errand. What if a wretched old woman do choose to go to the devil， when I thought she was going to Heaven! Is that any reason why I should quit my dear Faith， and go after her?"
"You will think better of this， by-and-by，" said his acquaintance， composedly. "Sit here and rest yourself awhile; and when you feel like moving again， there is my staff to help you along."
Without more words， he threw his companion the maple stick， and was as speedily out of sight， as if he had vanished into the deepening gloom. The young man sat a few moments， by the
roadside， applauding himself greatly， and thinking with how clear a conscience he should meet the minister， in his morning-walk， nor shrink from the eye of good old deacon Gookin. And what calm sleep would be his， that very nigh t， which was to have been spent so wickedly， but purely and sweetly now， in the arms of Faith! Amidst these pleasant and praiseworthy meditations， goodman Brown heard the tramp of horses along the road， and deemed it advisable to conceal himself within the verge of the forest， conscious of the guilty purpose that had brought him thither， though now so happily turned from it.
On came the hoof-tramps and the voices of the riders， two grave old voices， conversing soberly as they drew near. These mingled sounds appeared to pass along the road， within a few
yards of the young man's hiding-place; but owing， doubtless. To the depth of the gloom， at that particular spot， neither the travelers nor their steeds were visible. Though their figures brushed the small boughs by the way-side， it could not be seen that they
intercepted， even for a moment， the faint gleam from the strip of bright sky， athwart which they must have passed. Goodman Brown alternately crouched and stood on tip-toe， pulling aside the branches， and thrusting forth his head as far as he durst， without discerning so much as a shadow. It vexed him the more， because he could have sworn， were such a thing possible， that he recognized the voices of the minister and deacon Gookin， jogging along quietly， as they were wont to do， when bound to some ordination or ecclesiastical council. While yet within hearing， one of the riders stopped to pluck a switch.
"Of the two， reverend Sir，" said the voice like the deacon's， "I had rather miss an ordination-dinneri than to-night's meeting. They tell me that some of our community are to be here from Falmouth2 and beyond， and others from Connecticut and Rhode- Island; besides several of the Indian powows，3 who， after their fashion， know almost as much deviltry as the best of us. Moreover， there is a goodly young woman to be taken into communion."
