Hello! The answer to this question is:
Because she knows that her neighbors might talk if they saw Boo Radley being led across the street by an eight-year-old girl, Scout places her arm in the crook of Boo Radley's elbow, so that it looks like Boo is accompanying her, rather than the other way around. This shows how obvious the gossipy nature of the town is, that it has been picked up on by Scout to the extent that she knows how it might be misconstrued, whether deliberately or accidentally, and shared. The magnitude of this nature is shown because in all the strangeness of Boo Radley being out of the house, Scout is still aware that the small detail of who is leading whom may be remarked upon. This also shows Scout's loyalty to and care for Boo, as she is thinking of him when she acts like this, to protect him from the gossip of the neighborhood as much as she can. The act of her leading him across the road in the dark also shows the reversal in roles: while Boo is afraid, Scout becomes strong to guide him, a situation which differs greatly from their last encounter, during the fire, where Scout was weak and Boo was there to help her.

Answer:
It means that the walk from the prison-door to the marketplace seems trecherous and long to Hester Prynne.
Explanation:
Nathanael Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" is about the story of Hester Prynne, a woman convicted of adultery, and the "<em>punishment</em>" that was given to her. The novel also deals with themes of society, religion, good vs. evil, public shaming, social stigma, etc.
In the given excerpt, the narrator is talking about the "walk" from the prison door to the marketplace where Hester will be 'on display' for the public to see. The narrator reveals,<em> "measured by the prisoner's experience, [the walk] might be reckoned a journey of some length"</em> which is how it was more of <em>"an agony from every footstep"</em> for Hester. These lines show how Hester thinks the walk is long and treacherous for her.
