Explanation:

The short story "Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne revolves around the 'tempting/ testing' of Goodman Brown's faith. Set in the Puritan village of Salem, the story criticizes the hypocrisy of the Puritans and their belief systems.

Goodman Brown sets to the woods to meet with the devil. While walking along the woods, he saw some figures approaching. He observed that it was "a very pious and exemplary dame, who had taught him his catechism in youth, and was still his moral and spiritual adviser, jointly with the minister and Deacon Gookin." This dame refers to Goody Cloyse.

Thus, the people who Brown observe walking to the meeting along the woods are Goody Cloyse, the minister, and Deacon Gookin.
