"Faith kept me back a while."
The traveler man is telling Goodman Brown that he is late. Young Goodman Brown simply replies witht his quote. He is nervous, this random man is suddenly speaking to him, and Brown doesn't knwo who it is at all, he thinks it might be the devil.
" 'The devil!' screames the pious old lady."
The old ladyw ho wee all know is bad in her ways, gets very scared. She sees the devil, but she already supports him and knows of him. He replies by asking her if he knows her,w ith an obvious hint of her worshiping him. She than gives in fast, and explains to him that she is kind of evil, and goes the evil ways. But the fact that she was startled to beign with struck me as a bit of irony, seeing as how she supports him, it would be weird that she would be so afraid to see him-almost as if to have not really beeleived in him in the first place.
