The Scarlet Letter
Name 2 things the sailors do which is questionable by Puritan code
ch21
ch21
The sailors smoked and drank...... things definitely not looked upon with favor.
"They transgressed, without fear or scruple, the rules of behaviour that were binding on all others; smoking tobacco under the beadle’s very nose, although each whiff would have cost a townsman a shilling; and quaffing, at their pleasure, draughts of wine or aqua-vitae from pocket-flasks, which they freely tendered to the gaping crowd around them."
