journal 42 chapter 22 pg 207

"Hester Prynne gazing stedfastly at the clergyman, felt a dreary influence come over her, but wherefore or whence she new not; unless that he seemed so remote from her own sphere, and utterly beyond her reach."
This is saying that Hester Prynne is looking at Dimmesdale who is off in his own world, thinking about different stuff.  Then Hester is thinking about the woods and how they were holding hands and all that stuff, and then she starts thinking about their future and wonders if Dimmesdale will act the way he acts in the woods in the new society or if he will act they way he acts as the minister towards her in the new society.
