Entry 45:
"The great black forest—stern as it showed itself to those who brought the guilt and troubles of the world into its bosom—became the playmate of the lonely infant, as well as it knew how. Sombre as it was, it put on the kindest of its moods to welcome her.
The black forest was unfriendly towards the people who caused trouble and problems to the world, which is quite ironic because the 'black' forest is known for causing despair. Maybe, because Pearl plays in the forest and she is a symbol of 'free' nature, she releases the blackness from the forest, and the forest dislikes those who bring back difficulties.
