"Well, she's a blessed angel on earth and after this one night I'll cling to her skirts and follow her to heave."
Here, Goodman Brown is referring to his wife and how good she is to him. They had just gotten married and already he is jeopardizing their marriage and his well being to perform his bad deed. In response to her actions, Goodman Brown claims that he will never leave her and that he will be so good to her since she is supporting him at a time like this. This shows that she will always support him in everything he does subsequently he believes that she is a splendid wife.
"Goodman Brown cried out, and his cry was lost to his own ear by its unison with the cry of the desert."
Goodman brown cried out, but it couldn't be heard. This was due to the fact that his cry of loneliness and abandonment overpowered his cry of help and frustration. The scream was drowned out by desire to be with Faith again, and how upset he was that she was gone.
