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 "<em>Few could refrain from twisting their heads towards the door; many
</em>
<em>stood upright, and turned directly about; while several little boys
</em>
<em>clambered upon the seats, and came down again with a terrible racket</em>" shows just how confused the people were when they first saw him in that garb.
