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.

1680Within five minutes he was dressed and down-stairs, feeling sore and drowsy.
1681The family were still at table, but they had finished breakfast.
1682There was no voice of rebuke; but there were averted eyes; there was a silence and an air of solemnity that struck a chill to the culprit's heart.
1683He sat down and tried to seem gay, but it was up-hill work; it roused no smile, no response, and he lapsed into silence and let his heart sink down to the depths.
1684After breakfast his aunt took him aside, and Tom almost brightened in the hope that he was going to be flogged; but it was not so.
1685His aunt wept over him and asked him how he could go and break her old heart so; and finally told him to go on, and ruin himself and bring her gray hairs with sorrow to the grave, for it was no use for her to try any more.
1686This was worse than a thousand whippings, and Tom's heart was sorer now than his body.
1687He cried, he pleaded for forgiveness, promised to reform over and over again, and then received his dismissal, feeling that he had won but an imperfect forgiveness and established but a feeble confidence.
1688He left the presence too miserable to even feel revengeful toward Sid; and so the latter's prompt retreat through the back gate was unnecessary.
1689He moped to school gloomy and sad, and took his flogging, along with Joe Harper, for playing hookey the day before, with the air of one whose heart was busy with heavier woes and wholly dead to trifles.
1690Then he betook himself to his seat, rested his elbows on his desk and his jaws in his hands, and stared at the wall with the stony stare of suffering that has reached the limit and can no further go.
1691His elbow was pressing against some hard substance.
1692After a long time he slowly and sadly changed his position, and took up this object with a sigh.
1693It was in a paper.
1694He unrolled it.
1695A long, lingering, colossal sigh followed, and his heart broke.
1696It was his brass andiron knob!
1697This final feather broke the camel's back.
1698CHAPTER XI
1699CLOSE upon the hour of noon the whole village was suddenly electrified with the ghastly news.
1700No need of the as yet undreamed-of telegraph; the tale flew from man to man, from group to group, from house to house, with little less than telegraphic speed.
1701Of course the schoolmaster gave holiday for that afternoon; the town would have thought strangely of him if he had not.
1702A gory knife had been found close to the murdered man, and it had been recognized by somebody as belonging to Muff Potter--so the story ran.
1703And it was said that a belated citizen had come upon Potter washing himself in the "branch" about one or two o'clock in the morning, and that Potter had at once sneaked off--suspicious circumstances, especially the washing which was not a habit with Potter.
1704It was also said that the town had been ransacked for this "murderer" (the public are not slow in the matter of sifting evidence and arriving at a verdict), but that he could not be found.
1705Horsemen had departed down all the roads in every direction, and the Sheriff "was confident" that he would be captured before night.
1706All the town was drifting toward the graveyard.
1707Tom's heartbreak vanished and he joined the procession, not because he would not a thousand times rather go anywhere else, but because an awful, unaccountable fascination drew him on.
1708Arrived at the dreadful place, he wormed his small body through the crowd and saw the dismal spectacle.
1709It seemed to him an age since he was there before.
1710Somebody pinched his arm.
1711He turned, and his eyes met Huckleberry's.
1712Then both looked elsewhere at once, and wondered if anybody had noticed anything in their mutual glance.
1713But everybody was talking, and intent upon the grisly spectacle before them.
1714"Poor fellow!"
1715"Poor young fellow!"
1716"This ought to be a lesson to grave robbers!"
1717"Muff Potter'll hang for this if they catch him!"
1718
