The line is fromThe Scarlett Letter and is said by Hester to her husband. She is in jail, and her bastard infant child is ailing. The jailer calls a physician after determining that Hester and her child both need medical attention. The physician that turns up is her long lost husband, whom she cheated on (resulting in the child). When he mixes a medicinal drought for the baby, she believes it to be harmful, and accuses him of taking his anger out on "the innocent babe" by poisoning it.
