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.

3008And how the light did blaze abroad from the master's bald pate--for the sign-painter's boy had GILDED it!
3009That broke up the meeting.
3010The boys were avenged.
3011Vacation had come. NOTE:--The pretended "compositions" quoted in this chapter are taken without alteration from a volume entitled "Prose and Poetry, by a Western Lady"--but they are exactly and precisely after the schoolgirl pattern, and hence are much happier than any mere imitations could be.
3012CHAPTER XXII
3013TOM joined the new order of Cadets of Temperance, being attracted by the showy character of their "regalia."
3014He promised to abstain from smoking, chewing, and profanity as long as he remained a member.
3015Now he found out a new thing--namely, that to promise not to do a thing is the surest way in the world to make a body want to go and do that very thing.
3016Tom soon found himself tormented with a desire to drink and swear; the desire grew to be so intense that nothing but the hope of a chance to display himself in his red sash kept him from withdrawing from the order.
3017Fourth of July was coming; but he soon gave that up --gave it up before he had worn his shackles over forty-eight hours--and fixed his hopes upon old Judge Frazer, justice of the peace, who was apparently on his deathbed and would have a big public funeral, since he was so high an official.
3018During three days Tom was deeply concerned about the Judge's condition and hungry for news of it.
3019Sometimes his hopes ran high--so high that he would venture to get out his regalia and practise before the looking-glass.
3020But the Judge had a most discouraging way of fluctuating.
3021At last he was pronounced upon the mend--and then convalescent.
3022Tom was disgusted; and felt a sense of injury, too.
3023He handed in his resignation at once--and that night the Judge suffered a relapse and died.
3024Tom resolved that he would never trust a man like that again.
3025The funeral was a fine thing.
3026The Cadets paraded in a style calculated to kill the late member with envy.
3027Tom was a free boy again, however --there was something in that.
3028He could drink and swear, now--but found to his surprise that he did not want to.
3029The simple fact that he could, took the desire away, and the charm of it.
3030Tom presently wondered to find that his coveted vacation was beginning to hang a little heavily on his hands.
3031He attempted a diary--but nothing happened during three days, and so he abandoned it.
3032The first of all the negro minstrel shows came to town, and made a sensation.
3033Tom and Joe Harper got up a band of performers and were happy for two days.
3034Even the Glorious Fourth was in some sense a failure, for it rained hard, there was no procession in consequence, and the greatest man in the world (as Tom supposed), Mr. Benton, an actual United States Senator, proved an overwhelming disappointment--for he was not twenty-five feet high, nor even anywhere in the neighborhood of it.
3035A circus came.
3036The boys played circus for three days afterward in tents made of rag carpeting--admission, three pins for boys, two for girls--and then circusing was abandoned.
3037A phrenologist and a mesmerizer came--and went again and left the village duller and drearier than ever.
3038There were some boys-and-girls' parties, but they were so few and so delightful that they only made the aching voids between ache the harder.
3039Becky Thatcher was gone to her Constantinople home to stay with her parents during vacation--so there was no bright side to life anywhere.
3040The dreadful secret of the murder was a chronic misery.
3041It was a very cancer for permanency and pain.
3042Then came the measles.
3043During two long weeks Tom lay a prisoner, dead to the world and its happenings.
3044He was very ill, he was interested in nothing.
3045When he got upon his feet at last and moved feebly down-town, a melancholy change had come over everything and every creature.
