"'Once in my life I met the Black Man!' said her mother. 'This scarlet letter is his mark!" (pg 162)
What this is saying is when Hester decided to commit her sin she is saying she was tempted by the Devil to have sex with Dimmesdale, and because of it the Devil marked her with the letter A.
Is she talking about having "sex with Dimmesdale" or forming a pact with Chillingworth not to reveal his identity?
