In The Scarlet Letter, what does Hester tell Pearl is the reason she wears the scarlet letter A?

In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne... What reason does Hester give Pearl for wearing the scarlet letter A?
Answer:

Wow. It's been 10 years since I read that book. I do remember the A is for adultery, and the red simbolizes sin (according to my old English teacher) She has to wear it to feel the shame in what she's done. But really, I don't remember the details. Sorry.
