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.

4506He was admitted daily after that, but was warned to keep still about his adventure and introduce no exciting topic.
4507The Widow Douglas stayed by to see that he obeyed.
4508At home Tom learned of the Cardiff Hill event; also that the "ragged man's" body had eventually been found in the river near the ferry-landing; he had been drowned while trying to escape, perhaps.
4509About a fortnight after Tom's rescue from the cave, he started off to visit Huck, who had grown plenty strong enough, now, to hear exciting talk, and Tom had some that would interest him, he thought.
4510Judge Thatcher's house was on Tom's way, and he stopped to see Becky.
4511The Judge and some friends set Tom to talking, and some one asked him ironically if he wouldn't like to go to the cave again.
4512Tom said he thought he wouldn't mind it.
4513The Judge said:
4514"Well, there are others just like you, Tom, I've not the least doubt.
4515But we have taken care of that.
4516Nobody will get lost in that cave any more."
4517"Why?"
4518"Because I had its big door sheathed with boiler iron two weeks ago, and triple-locked--and I've got the keys."
4519Tom turned as white as a sheet.
4520"What's the matter, boy!
4521Here, run, somebody!
4522Fetch a glass of water!"
4523The water was brought and thrown into Tom's face.
4524"Ah, now you're all right.
4525What was the matter with you, Tom?"
4526"Oh, Judge, Injun Joe's in the cave!"
4527CHAPTER XXXIII
4528WITHIN a few minutes the news had spread, and a dozen skiff-loads of men were on their way to McDougal's cave, and the ferryboat, well filled with passengers, soon followed.
4529Tom Sawyer was in the skiff that bore Judge Thatcher.
4530When the cave door was unlocked, a sorrowful sight presented itself in the dim twilight of the place.
4531Injun Joe lay stretched upon the ground, dead, with his face close to the crack of the door, as if his longing eyes had been fixed, to the latest moment, upon the light and the cheer of the free world outside.
4532Tom was touched, for he knew by his own experience how this wretch had suffered.
4533His pity was moved, but nevertheless he felt an abounding sense of relief and security, now, which revealed to him in a degree which he had not fully appreciated before how vast a weight of dread had been lying upon him since the day he lifted his voice against this bloody-minded outcast.
4534Injun Joe's bowie-knife lay close by, its blade broken in two.
4535The great foundation-beam of the door had been chipped and hacked through, with tedious labor; useless labor, too, it was, for the native rock formed a sill outside it, and upon that stubborn material the knife had wrought no effect; the only damage done was to the knife itself.
4536But if there had been no stony obstruction there the labor would have been useless still, for if the beam had been wholly cut away Injun Joe could not have squeezed his body under the door, and he knew it.
4537So he had only hacked that place in order to be doing something--in order to pass the weary time--in order to employ his tortured faculties.
4538Ordinarily one could find half a dozen bits of candle stuck around in the crevices of this vestibule, left there by tourists; but there were none now.
4539The prisoner had searched them out and eaten them.
4540He had also contrived to catch a few bats, and these, also, he had eaten, leaving only their claws.
4541The poor unfortunate had starved to death.
4542In one place, near at hand, a stalagmite had been slowly growing up from the ground for ages, builded by the water-drip from a stalactite overhead.
4543The captive had broken off the stalagmite, and upon the stump had placed a stone, wherein he had scooped a shallow hollow to catch the precious drop that fell once in every three minutes with the dreary regularity of a clock-tick--a dessertspoonful once in four and twenty hours.
4544That drop was falling when the Pyramids were new; when Troy fell; when the foundations of Rome were laid; when Christ was crucified; when the Conqueror created the British empire; when Columbus sailed; when the massacre at Lexington was "news."
