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.

2908Tom went to bed that night planning vengeance against Alfred Temple; for with shame and repentance Becky had told him all, not forgetting her own treachery; but even the longing for vengeance had to give way, soon, to pleasanter musings, and he fell asleep at last with Becky's latest words lingering dreamily in his ear--
2909"Tom, how COULD you be so noble!"
2910CHAPTER XXI
2911VACATION was approaching.
2912The schoolmaster, always severe, grew severer and more exacting than ever, for he wanted the school to make a good showing on "Examination" day.
2913His rod and his ferule were seldom idle now--at least among the smaller pupils.
2914Only the biggest boys, and young ladies of eighteen and twenty, escaped lashing.
2915Mr. Dobbins' lashings were very vigorous ones, too; for although he carried, under his wig, a perfectly bald and shiny head, he had only reached middle age, and there was no sign of feebleness in his muscle.
2916As the great day approached, all the tyranny that was in him came to the surface; he seemed to take a vindictive pleasure in punishing the least shortcomings.
2917The consequence was, that the smaller boys spent their days in terror and suffering and their nights in plotting revenge.
2918They threw away no opportunity to do the master a mischief.
2919But he kept ahead all the time.
2920The retribution that followed every vengeful success was so sweeping and majestic that the boys always retired from the field badly worsted.
2921At last they conspired together and hit upon a plan that promised a dazzling victory.
2922They swore in the sign-painter's boy, told him the scheme, and asked his help.
2923He had his own reasons for being delighted, for the master boarded in his father's family and had given the boy ample cause to hate him.
2924The master's wife would go on a visit to the country in a few days, and there would be nothing to interfere with the plan; the master always prepared himself for great occasions by getting pretty well fuddled, and the sign-painter's boy said that when the dominie had reached the proper condition on Examination Evening he would "manage the thing" while he napped in his chair; then he would have him awakened at the right time and hurried away to school. In the fulness of time the interesting occasion arrived.
2925At eight in the evening the schoolhouse was brilliantly lighted, and adorned with wreaths and festoons of foliage and flowers.
2926The master sat throned in his great chair upon a raised platform, with his blackboard behind him.
2927He was looking tolerably mellow.
2928Three rows of benches on each side and six rows in front of him were occupied by the dignitaries of the town and by the parents of the pupils.
2929To his left, back of the rows of citizens, was a spacious temporary platform upon which were seated the scholars who were to take part in the exercises of the evening; rows of small boys, washed and dressed to an intolerable state of discomfort; rows of gawky big boys; snowbanks of girls and young ladies clad in lawn and muslin and conspicuously conscious of their bare arms, their grandmothers' ancient trinkets, their bits of pink and blue ribbon and the flowers in their hair.
2930All the rest of the house was filled with non-participating scholars.
2931The exercises began.
2932A very little boy stood up and sheepishly recited,
2933"You'd scarce expect one of my age to speak in public on the stage," etc.--accompanying himself with the painfully exact and spasmodic gestures which a machine might have used--supposing the machine to be a trifle out of order.
2934But he got through safely, though cruelly scared, and got a fine round of applause when he made his manufactured bow and retired.
2935A little shamefaced girl lisped,
2936"Mary had a little lamb," etc., performed a compassion-inspiring curtsy, got her meed of applause, and sat down flushed and happy.
2937
