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.

4429The hours wasted away, and hunger came to torment the captives again.
4430A portion of Tom's half of the cake was left; they divided and ate it.
4431But they seemed hungrier than before.
4432The poor morsel of food only whetted desire.
4433By-and-by Tom said:
4434"SH!
4435Did you hear that?"
4436Both held their breath and listened.
4437There was a sound like the faintest, far-off shout. Instantly Tom answered it, and leading Becky by the hand, started groping down the corridor in its direction.
4438Presently he listened again; again the sound was heard, and apparently a little nearer.
4439"It's them!" said Tom; "they're coming!
4440Come along, Becky--we're all right now!"
4441The joy of the prisoners was almost overwhelming.
4442Their speed was slow, however, because pitfalls were somewhat common, and had to be guarded against.
4443They shortly came to one and had to stop.
4444It might be three feet deep, it might be a hundred--there was no passing it at any rate.
4445Tom got down on his breast and reached as far down as he could.
4446No bottom.
4447They must stay there and wait until the searchers came.
4448They listened; evidently the distant shoutings were growing more distant! a moment or two more and they had gone altogether.
4449The heart-sinking misery of it!
4450Tom whooped until he was hoarse, but it was of no use.
4451He talked hopefully to Becky; but an age of anxious waiting passed and no sounds came again.
4452The children groped their way back to the spring.
4453The weary time dragged on; they slept again, and awoke famished and woe-stricken.
4454Tom believed it must be Tuesday by this time.
4455Now an idea struck him.
4456There were some side passages near at hand.
4457It would be better to explore some of these than bear the weight of the heavy time in idleness.
4458He took a kite-line from his pocket, tied it to a projection, and he and Becky started, Tom in the lead, unwinding the line as he groped along.
4459At the end of twenty steps the corridor ended in a "jumping-off place."
4460Tom got down on his knees and felt below, and then as far around the corner as he could reach with his hands conveniently; he made an effort to stretch yet a little farther to the right, and at that moment, not twenty yards away, a human hand, holding a candle, appeared from behind a rock!
4461Tom lifted up a glorious shout, and instantly that hand was followed by the body it belonged to--Injun Joe's!
4462Tom was paralyzed; he could not move.
4463He was vastly gratified the next moment, to see the "Spaniard" take to his heels and get himself out of sight.
4464Tom wondered that Joe had not recognized his voice and come over and killed him for testifying in court.
4465But the echoes must have disguised the voice.
4466Without doubt, that was it, he reasoned.
4467Tom's fright weakened every muscle in his body. He said to himself that if he had strength enough to get back to the spring he would stay there, and nothing should tempt him to run the risk of meeting Injun Joe again.
4468He was careful to keep from Becky what it was he had seen.
4469He told her he had only shouted "for luck."
4470But hunger and wretchedness rise superior to fears in the long run. Another tedious wait at the spring and another long sleep brought changes.
4471The children awoke tortured with a raging hunger.
4472Tom believed that it must be Wednesday or Thursday or even Friday or Saturday, now, and that the search had been given over.
4473He proposed to explore another passage.
4474He felt willing to risk Injun Joe and all other terrors.
4475But Becky was very weak.
4476She had sunk into a dreary apathy and would not be roused.
4477She said she would wait, now, where she was, and die--it would not be long.
4478She told Tom to go with the kite-line and explore if he chose; but she implored him to come back every little while and speak to her; and she made him promise that when the awful time came, he would stay by her and hold her hand until all was over.
