In The Scarlet Letter, how does Hester tell Pearl that Dimmesdale is her father?

In the Chapter
III, when Rev.speaks to , her baby that she clutches to her breast turns her "gaze towards
Mr. Dimmesdale, and held up its little arms with a half-pleased, half-plaintive murmur." 
This reaction of babyindicates recognition of Dimmesdale as one who has held her before; she is
acquainted with the minister. 

In , Pearl notes a connection between her
mother and the minister, asking what the scarlet letter on her mother's breast means and
inquiring why the minister keeps his hand over his heart. She repeats these questions, an action
which suggests that Pearl senses a connection of Rev. Dimmesdale to her mother. InPearl is
called from across the brook to meet Hester and the Reverend:  "Now she fixed her bright
wild eyes on her mother, now on the minister, and now included them both in the same glance, as
if to detect and explain to herself the relation which they bore to one another."  When the
minister involuntarily puts his hand over his heart, Pearl becomes agitated until Hester
reclaims her discarded letter and restores it to her heart.  It would seem, therefore, that
Pearl intuitively understands the connection between her mother and Dimmesdale.  On the holiday,
Pearl asks why the minister does not acknowledge them in the daylight when he walked with them
in the forest and even kissed her head.  Pearl clearly senses her father as Dimmesdale; she
kisses him in the end.
