15.)"His first entry on the scene, few people could tell whence, dropping down, as it were, out of the sky, or starting from the nether earth, had an aspect of mystery, which was easily heightened to the miraculous"
If one were to fall from sky they would probably be falling from heaven, but to arise from the ground you would be coming from hell. People seem to be wondering if he is good or bad, but they have no idea because they don't know were he came from. But he is a skilled doctor so they are not asking to many question of his origin. His source of medicine is from nature which in unlike the normal puritan medicine but he knows what he is doing so again they do not ask questions. It is obvious to a reader but not to the towns people that he is evil which means he has arisen from below(hell).
16.)" As not only the disease interested the physician, but he was strongly moved to look into the character and qualities of the patient, these two men, so different in age, came gradually to spend much time together."
Chillingworth has taken an interest to Dimmesdale, and he is a very smart man so he must know that there is something going on with the young reverend. Chillingworth has been known to read people so maybe he saw that Dimmesdale is hiding something. I think that Dimmesdale does not want medical help because he feels the need to pay for the wrong he committed and the pain he is going through is just punishment. It might not be good that Dimmesdale is going to be spending so much time with Chillingworth because i think that Dimmesdale is a truly good person who made a mistake but Chillingworth just seems like pure evil he is a schemer and think that he is scheming a plan for the reverend. Although they seem to be getting along quite nicely it doesn't seem real to me. Roger Chillingworth doesn't seem like a friend type of person. I don't think he would ever actually befriend someone without ulterior motives.
