Young children run heedlessly before Hester to the scaffold.

When Hester leaves the jail, a crowd has gathered in order to look at her. Hester is ashamed, but she does not allow anyone to notice it. She walks to the scaffold with dignity and elegance. Young children run heedlessly before Hester, while the crowd follows her. The behaviour of the crowd is very different from Hester's dignified behaviour.

The correct answer is: Young children run heedlessly before Hester to the scaffold.

Chapter 2 of ''The scarlet letter'' is the Market-place setting. The setting reveals that Hester Prynne is a criminal who committed adultery and that she breaks out of a prison door as she walks with a ''natural dignity'' towards the scaffold.  Afterward, the crowd turns and sees that there is a three-month baby in her arms, an embroidered badge ''A,'' and a scarlet on her chest. The badge ''A'' represents the adultery she committed.  

The crowd is the puritan women who are against her. The crowd grows displeased and made derogatory comments about her as the officers lead her towards the scaffold. Little children run heedlessly before Hester as the crowd follows her.

Shortly after, the Beadle calls Hester and declared her innocent regardless of the crime she committed.

Chapter 2 has a lesson, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author of ''The scarlet letter,'' puts it to portray the world of a charmingly beautiful woman and her sin of adultery.  

Hester had just committed adultery and she remains confident, charming instead of being dull. However, she was seen as innocent and discharged from the crime.  

The portrait foreshadows and lays the foundation for the subsequent scenes to come in the book.
