Why do Hester and Pearl leave the community?

It doesn't really explain why they left in detail, but I suspect that the reason Pearl and Hester left was because there is nothing left for them in the Boston area except scorn. Hester took advantage of the great wealth bestowed on Pearl by her husband, Mr. Chillingsworth, and used it to provide the best life for Pearl. In the end though, after Pearl is said to be living a full life, Hester returns to the community and continues her punishment by the scarlet letter.
