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.

3192Don't be afraid.
3193You were--"
3194"In the graveyard."
3195A contemptuous smile flitted across Injun Joe's face.
3196"Were you anywhere near Horse Williams' grave?"
3197"Yes, sir."
3198"Speak up--just a trifle louder.
3199How near were you?"
3200"Near as I am to you."
3201"Were you hidden, or not?"
3202"I was hid."
3203"Where?"
3204"Behind the elms that's on the edge of the grave."
3205Injun Joe gave a barely perceptible start.
3206"Any one with you?"
3207"Yes, sir.
3208I went there with--"
3209"Wait--wait a moment.
3210Never mind mentioning your companion's name.
3211We will produce him at the proper time.
3212Did you carry anything there with you."
3213Tom hesitated and looked confused.
3214"Speak out, my boy--don't be diffident.
3215The truth is always respectable.
3216What did you take there?"
3217"Only a--a--dead cat."
3218There was a ripple of mirth, which the court checked.
3219"We will produce the skeleton of that cat.
3220Now, my boy, tell us everything that occurred--tell it in your own way--don't skip anything, and don't be afraid."
3221Tom began--hesitatingly at first, but as he warmed to his subject his words flowed more and more easily; in a little while every sound ceased but his own voice; every eye fixed itself upon him; with parted lips and bated breath the audience hung upon his words, taking no note of time, rapt in the ghastly fascinations of the tale.
3222The strain upon pent emotion reached its climax when the boy said:
3223"--and as the doctor fetched the board around and Muff Potter fell, Injun Joe jumped with the knife and--"
3224Crash!
3225Quick as lightning the half-breed sprang for a window, tore his way through all opposers, and was gone!
3226CHAPTER XXIV
3227TOM was a glittering hero once more--the pet of the old, the envy of the young.
3228His name even went into immortal print, for the village paper magnified him.
3229There were some that believed he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.
3230As usual, the fickle, unreasoning world took Muff Potter to its bosom and fondled him as lavishly as it had abused him before.
3231But that sort of conduct is to the world's credit; therefore it is not well to find fault with it.
3232Tom's days were days of splendor and exultation to him, but his nights were seasons of horror.
3233Injun Joe infested all his dreams, and always with doom in his eye.
3234Hardly any temptation could persuade the boy to stir abroad after nightfall.
3235Poor Huck was in the same state of wretchedness and terror, for Tom had told the whole story to the lawyer the night before the great day of the trial, and Huck was sore afraid that his share in the business might leak out, yet, notwithstanding Injun Joe's flight had saved him the suffering of testifying in court.
3236The poor fellow had got the attorney to promise secrecy, but what of that?
3237Since Tom's harassed conscience had managed to drive him to the lawyer's house by night and wring a dread tale from lips that had been sealed with the dismalest and most formidable of oaths, Huck's confidence in the human race was well-nigh obliterated.
3238Daily Muff Potter's gratitude made Tom glad he had spoken; but nightly he wished he had sealed up his tongue.
3239Half the time Tom was afraid Injun Joe would never be captured; the other half he was afraid he would be.
3240He felt sure he never could draw a safe breath again until that man was dead and he had seen the corpse.
3241Rewards had been offered, the country had been scoured, but no Injun Joe was found.
3242One of those omniscient and awe-inspiring marvels, a detective, came up from St. Louis, moused around, shook his head, looked wise, and made that sort of astounding success which members of that craft usually achieve.
3243That is to say, he "found a clew."
