The Scarlet Letter .. Chapter Eight - The Elf-Child and the Minister .. Post #22 && 23

""You speak, my friend, with a strange earnestness," said old Roger Chillingworth, smiling at him."

Why is he smiling at him? Its just like if he feels superior...
Does he maybe know that the Reverend Dimmesdale is the father of little Pearl? Or is it just a normal smile?

"...taking his hand so tender, and withal so unobtrusive, that..." (Pg. 102)

And what about her?
Does she know that Reverend Dimmesdale is her father? She trusts him and it seems like she has some kind of bounding to him. Just like Hester can see in people's hearts and seeing their sins, can Pearl look into his heart and see that he is more than just a normal person?
