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.

2429Everything in camp was drenched, the camp-fire as well; for they were but heedless lads, like their generation, and had made no provision against rain.
2430Here was matter for dismay, for they were soaked through and chilled.
2431They were eloquent in their distress; but they presently discovered that the fire had eaten so far up under the great log it had been built against (where it curved upward and separated itself from the ground), that a handbreadth or so of it had escaped wetting; so they patiently wrought until, with shreds and bark gathered from the under sides of sheltered logs, they coaxed the fire to burn again.
2432Then they piled on great dead boughs till they had a roaring furnace, and were glad-hearted once more.
2433They dried their boiled ham and had a feast, and after that they sat by the fire and expanded and glorified their midnight adventure until morning, for there was not a dry spot to sleep on, anywhere around.
2434As the sun began to steal in upon the boys, drowsiness came over them, and they went out on the sandbar and lay down to sleep.
2435They got scorched out by and by, and drearily set about getting breakfast.
2436After the meal they felt rusty, and stiff-jointed, and a little homesick once more.
2437Tom saw the signs, and fell to cheering up the pirates as well as he could.
2438But they cared nothing for marbles, or circus, or swimming, or anything.
2439He reminded them of the imposing secret, and raised a ray of cheer.
2440While it lasted, he got them interested in a new device.
2441This was to knock off being pirates, for a while, and be Indians for a change. They were attracted by this idea; so it was not long before they were stripped, and striped from head to heel with black mud, like so many zebras--all of them chiefs, of course--and then they went tearing through the woods to attack an English settlement.
2442By and by they separated into three hostile tribes, and darted upon each other from ambush with dreadful war-whoops, and killed and scalped each other by thousands.
2443It was a gory day. Consequently it was an extremely satisfactory one.
2444They assembled in camp toward supper-time, hungry and happy; but now a difficulty arose--hostile Indians could not break the bread of hospitality together without first making peace, and this was a simple impossibility without smoking a pipe of peace.
2445There was no other process that ever they had heard of.
2446Two of the savages almost wished they had remained pirates.
2447However, there was no other way; so with such show of cheerfulness as they could muster they called for the pipe and took their whiff as it passed, in due form.
2448And behold, they were glad they had gone into savagery, for they had gained something; they found that they could now smoke a little without having to go and hunt for a lost knife; they did not get sick enough to be seriously uncomfortable.
2449They were not likely to fool away this high promise for lack of effort.
2450No, they practised cautiously, after supper, with right fair success, and so they spent a jubilant evening.
2451They were prouder and happier in their new acquirement than they would have been in the scalping and skinning of the Six Nations.
2452We will leave them to smoke and chatter and brag, since we have no further use for them at present.
2453CHAPTER XVII
2454BUT there was no hilarity in the little town that same tranquil Saturday afternoon.
2455The Harpers, and Aunt Polly's family, were being put into mourning, with great grief and many tears.
2456An unusual quiet possessed the village, although it was ordinarily quiet enough, in all conscience.
2457The villagers conducted their concerns with an absent air, and talked little; but they sighed often.
2458The Saturday holiday seemed a burden to the children.
2459They had no heart in their sports, and gradually gave them up.
