Answer:
"Few could refrain from twisting their heads towards the door; many
stood upright, and turned directly about; while several little boys
clambered upon the seats, and came down again with a terrible racket."
Explanation:
Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Minister's Black Veil" is about a particular pastor of a church who turned up one day with a black veil over his face. This caused much racket and confusion over his congregation that some doubt the true identity of the man behind the clothing.
In a small village of Milford in New England, the parish of the church turned up one day with a black face veil. This caused much confusion over his parishioner that some even doubt the real identity of their parish. The lines "Few could refrain from twisting their heads towards the door; many
stood upright, and turned directly about; while several little boys
clambered upon the seats, and came down again with a terrible racket" shows just how confused the people were when they first saw him in that garb.
