Detailed explanation-1: -It is Chillingworth’s suggestion that he and the minister should lodge in the same house. Dimmesdale’s parishioners regard him as all the more righteous and godly for his assertions that he is the worst of sinners.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dimmesdale hurries home and, because he is agitated, Chillingworth offers to give him some medicine to calm him down. Dimmesdale lies to Chillingworth, telling him that though he knows his medicine is dispensed by a loving hand, he does not need it.
Detailed explanation-3: -What reason does Chillingworth give to the townspeople for wanting to live with Dimmesdale? Because Dimmesdale does not have a wife, he needs a doctor to care for him. They are both bachelors and can keep each other company.
