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.

4281Presently they came to a place where a little stream of water, trickling over a ledge and carrying a limestone sediment with it, had, in the slow-dragging ages, formed a laced and ruffled Niagara in gleaming and imperishable stone.
4282Tom squeezed his small body behind it in order to illuminate it for Becky's gratification.
4283He found that it curtained a sort of steep natural stairway which was enclosed between narrow walls, and at once the ambition to be a discoverer seized him.
4284Becky responded to his call, and they made a smoke-mark for future guidance, and started upon their quest.
4285They wound this way and that, far down into the secret depths of the cave, made another mark, and branched off in search of novelties to tell the upper world about.
4286In one place they found a spacious cavern, from whose ceiling depended a multitude of shining stalactites of the length and circumference of a man's leg; they walked all about it, wondering and admiring, and presently left it by one of the numerous passages that opened into it.
4287This shortly brought them to a bewitching spring, whose basin was incrusted with a frostwork of glittering crystals; it was in the midst of a cavern whose walls were supported by many fantastic pillars which had been formed by the joining of great stalactites and stalagmites together, the result of the ceaseless water-drip of centuries.
4288Under the roof vast knots of bats had packed themselves together, thousands in a bunch; the lights disturbed the creatures and they came flocking down by hundreds, squeaking and darting furiously at the candles.
4289Tom knew their ways and the danger of this sort of conduct.
4290He seized Becky's hand and hurried her into the first corridor that offered; and none too soon, for a bat struck Becky's light out with its wing while she was passing out of the cavern.
4291The bats chased the children a good distance; but the fugitives plunged into every new passage that offered, and at last got rid of the perilous things.
4292Tom found a subterranean lake, shortly, which stretched its dim length away until its shape was lost in the shadows.
4293He wanted to explore its borders, but concluded that it would be best to sit down and rest awhile, first.
4294Now, for the first time, the deep stillness of the place laid a clammy hand upon the spirits of the children.
4295Becky said: "Why, I didn't notice, but it seems ever so long since I heard any of the others."
4296"Come to think, Becky, we are away down below them--and I don't know how far away north, or south, or east, or whichever it is.
4297We couldn't hear them here."
4298Becky grew apprehensive.
4299"I wonder how long we've been down here, Tom?
4300We better start back."
4301"Yes, I reckon we better.
4302P'raps we better."
4303"Can you find the way, Tom?
4304It's all a mixed-up crookedness to me."
4305"I reckon I could find it--but then the bats.
4306If they put our candles out it will be an awful fix.
4307Let's try some other way, so as not to go through there."
4308"Well.
4309But I hope we won't get lost.
4310It would be so awful!" and the girl shuddered at the thought of the dreadful possibilities.
4311They started through a corridor, and traversed it in silence a long way, glancing at each new opening, to see if there was anything familiar about the look of it; but they were all strange.
4312Every time Tom made an examination, Becky would watch his face for an encouraging sign, and he would say cheerily:
4313"Oh, it's all right.
4314This ain't the one, but we'll come to it right away!"
4315But he felt less and less hopeful with each failure, and presently began to turn off into diverging avenues at sheer random, in desperate hope of finding the one that was wanted.
4316He still said it was "all right," but there was such a leaden dread at his heart that the words had lost their ring and sounded just as if he had said,
4317"All is lost!"
4318Becky clung to his side in an anguish of fear, and tried hard to keep back the tears, but they would come.
