"[...] "Ah, upon another face perhaps it might," replied her husband; "but never on yours. No, dearest Georgiana, you came so nearly perfect from the hand of Nature that this slightest possible defect, which we hesitate whether to term a defect or a beauty, shocks me, as being the visible mark of earthly imperfection." "Shocks you, my husband!" cried Georgiana, deeply hurt; at first reddening with momentary anger, but then bursting into tears. "Then why did you take me from my mother's side? You cannot love what shocks you!" To explain this conversation it must be mentioned that in the centre of Georgiana's left cheek there was a singular mark, deeply interwoven, as it were, with the texture and substance of her face. In the usual state of her complexion—a healthy though delicate bloom—the mark wore a tint of deeper crimson, which imperfectly defined its shape amid the surrounding rosiness. When she blushed it gradually became more indistinct, and finally vanished amid the triumphant rush of blood that bathed the whole cheek with its brilliant glow. But if any shifting motion caused her to turn pale there was the mark again, a crimson stain upon the snow, in what Aylmer sometimes deemed an almost fearful distinctness. Its shape bore not a little similarity to the human hand, though of the smallest pygmy size. [...]".

About the Author Nathaniel Hawthorne (born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist and short story writer. Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in 1804 in the city of Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch trials who never repented of his actions. Nathaniel later added a "w" to make his name "Hawthorne" in order to hide this relation. He entered Bowdoin College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824, and graduated in 1825. Hawthorne anonymously published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828. He published several short stories in various periodicals which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at a Custom Houseand joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to The Wayside in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, and was survived by his wife and their three children. -wikipedia

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Unusual but delightful tales By Israel Drazin Many readers have enjoyed Nathaniel Hawthorne’s books (1804-1864) for more than a century. He was one of America’s greatest writers of his time, His books – such as: The scarlet Letter, The House of Seven gables, and The Marble Faun, are repeatedly being reprinted. People of virtually all ages will be able to appreciate his skill and enjoy how he tells his stories by reading the tales in this volume. The stories include: The Birthmark, Young Goodman Brown, Rappaccini Daughter, Mrs. Bullfrog, The Celestial Railroad, The Procession of Life Feathertop, and others. All are good and unusual. In The Birthmark, for example, a scientist decides to remove a birthmark from the face of his beautiful wife, a mark that he used to think added to her beauty, but now disgusts him. His wife also begins to dislike the mark. In Young Goodman, to cite another example, a man living in Salem during the days of the witch trials there meets the devil.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fair collection of stories. By MJP2 I mainly got this for "Rappacini's Daughter". Hawthorne must have been known mainly for satire, but satire is only passable when you have some idea of what is being satirized, so some of this went right over my head (e.g., a satire on "Pilgrim's Progress", which I haven't read).
