Том Сойер - обыкновенный американский мальчишка, увлекающийся и, по мнению взрослых, непослушный, неугомонный выдумщик, но и верный друг. Герой Марка Твена подкупает находчивостью и простодушием, предприимчивостью и любопытством. Приключения Тома помогают увидеть врожденную доброту мальчика, неподдельную жажду свободы и справедливости.

1446He was so close the boys could have touched him.
1447"Hurry, men!" he said, in a low voice; "the moon might come out at any moment."
1448They growled a response and went on digging.
1449For some time there was no noise but the grating sound of the spades discharging their freight of mould and gravel.
1450It was very monotonous.
1451Finally a spade struck upon the coffin with a dull woody accent, and within another minute or two the men had hoisted it out on the ground.
1452They pried off the lid with their shovels, got out the body and dumped it rudely on the ground.
1453The moon drifted from behind the clouds and exposed the pallid face.
1454The barrow was got ready and the corpse placed on it, covered with a blanket, and bound to its place with the rope.
1455Potter took out a large spring-knife and cut off the dangling end of the rope and then said:
1456"Now the cussed thing's ready, Sawbones, and you'll just out with another five, or here she stays."
1457"That's the talk!" said Injun Joe.
1458"Look here, what does this mean?" said the doctor.
1459"You required your pay in advance, and I've paid you."
1460"Yes, and you done more than that," said Injun Joe, approaching the doctor, who was now standing.
1461"Five years ago you drove me away from your father's kitchen one night, when I come to ask for something to eat, and you said I warn't there for any good; and when I swore I'd get even with you if it took a hundred years, your father had me jailed for a vagrant.
1462Did you think I'd forget?
1463The Injun blood ain't in me for nothing.
1464And now I've GOT you, and you got to SETTLE, you know!"
1465He was threatening the doctor, with his fist in his face, by this time.
1466The doctor struck out suddenly and stretched the ruffian on the ground.
1467Potter dropped his knife, and exclaimed:
1468"Here, now, don't you hit my pard!" and the next moment he had grappled with the doctor and the two were struggling with might and main, trampling the grass and tearing the ground with their heels.
1469Injun Joe sprang to his feet, his eyes flaming with passion, snatched up Potter's knife, and went creeping, catlike and stooping, round and round about the combatants, seeking an opportunity.
1470All at once the doctor flung himself free, seized the heavy headboard of Williams' grave and felled Potter to the earth with it--and in the same instant the half-breed saw his chance and drove the knife to the hilt in the young man's breast.
1471He reeled and fell partly upon Potter, flooding him with his blood, and in the same moment the clouds blotted out the dreadful spectacle and the two frightened boys went speeding away in the dark.
1472Presently, when the moon emerged again, Injun Joe was standing over the two forms, contemplating them.
1473The doctor murmured inarticulately, gave a long gasp or two and was still.
1474The half-breed muttered:
1475"THAT score is settled--damn you."
1476Then he robbed the body.
1477After which he put the fatal knife in Potter's open right hand, and sat down on the dismantled coffin.
1478Three --four--five minutes passed, and then Potter began to stir and moan.
1479His hand closed upon the knife; he raised it, glanced at it, and let it fall, with a shudder.
1480Then he sat up, pushing the body from him, and gazed at it, and then around him, confusedly. His eyes met Joe's.
1481"Lord, how is this, Joe?" he said.
1482"It's a dirty business," said Joe, without moving.
1483"What did you do it for?"
1484"I!
1485I never done it!"
1486"Look here!
1487That kind of talk won't wash."
1488Potter trembled and grew white.
1489"I thought I'd got sober.
1490I'd no business to drink to-night.
1491But it's in my head yet--worse'n when we started here. I'm all in a muddle; can't recollect anything of it, hardly.
1492Tell me, Joe--HONEST, now, old feller--did I do it?
1493Joe, I never meant to--'pon my soul and honor, I never meant to, Joe.
1494
