"it was sufficiently evident...hear it" pg 56
In a couple of lines H. describes the relation between Helen and her husband (he does mark out this man because of the mentioned deformed figure) and he tells the reaction of the woman at his sight. We can so understand that Hester is scared by this man, but we don't know why. We can imagine that there is not a good relationship between the twos, but what I think is important to highlight is the very physical reaction of the woman: she pushes Pearl against her bosom, as to protect her from her very husband.
