No answer. “TOM!” No answer. The old lady looked around the room. “When I find you, I—” She did not finish. With her head down, she was looking under the bed. Only the cat came out. She went to the open door and looked toward the garden. No Tom was there. She shouted: “You, Tom!” There was a little noise behind her. She turned and caught a small bo...
SATURDAY MORNING CAME. ALL THE SUMMER WORLD WAS BRIGHT and fresh and full of life. Tom appeared in front of the house with paint and a big brush. He looked at the fence, and all joy left him. A deep sadness settled upon his heart. The fence was long and high. He wet the brush and moved it along the top board. He did it again, and did it again. He l...
TOM WENT TO REPORT TO AUNT POLLY. SHE WAS SITTING BESIDE AN open window. She was half asleep, and she was holding the sleeping cat. She was surprised to see Tom. She thought that he had run away from his work long ago. Tom said, “May I go and play now, Aunt?” “Already? How much have you done?” “It is all done, Aunt.” “Tom, is that true? It makes me...
THE SUN ROSE UPON A QUIET WORLD AND LOOKED WARMLY DOWN UPON the peaceful village. The family began the day by praying together. Then Tom did his Sunday studying. He was trying to learn some words from the Bible. Sid had already finished his studying, but Tom was slow. His mind was busy with other things. Tom was learning five verses. Some verses ar...
THE BELL OF THE SMALL CHURCH BEGAN TO RING. THE PEOPLE BEGAN to gather to hear Mr. Sprague speak to them. Mr. Sprague spoke to them in church every Sunday, and prayed with them. The Sundayschool children now sat with their fathers and mothers, who would try to keep them quiet. Aunt Polly came, and Tom and Sid and Mary sat with her. Tom was placed a...
THE NEXT MORNING TOM WAS VERY SAD. THIS WAS THE BEGINNING of another week of slow suffering in school. He usually began this day wishing that there had been no Saturday and no Sunday. Because of them, school seemed more painful to him. He lay in bed, thinking. If he were sick, he could stay home. He thought carefully about all parts of his body, bu...
AT NOON TOM RAN TO BECKY AND SAID SOFTLY IN HER EAR: “Start to go home with the others, and then return here. I will do the same.” Soon both had returned. Now they were alone in the school. They sat together, and Tom put his hand on Becky’s, guiding it. They made a picture of another house. Then they talked. Tom was filled with happiness. He said, ...
HALF AN HOUR LATER TOM WAS BEYOND MRS. DOUGLAS’ HOUSE ON Cardiff Hill. He entered a thick forest, went to the center of it, and sat down under a tree. He was very sad. He wished that he could die—for a short time. But soon he began to think again of living. He would go far away, to countries across the sea. How would Becky feel then? He would be a ...
AT NINE THAT NIGHT TOM AND SID WERE SENT TO BED AS USUAL. They prayed, and Sid was soon asleep. Tom was waiting. Time passed very slowly. Little noises came out of the darkness. The cry of a far off dog was heard in the night air, and was answered by another dog. By that time Tom was asleep. Then there came, among his dreams, the call of a cat. A n...
THE TWO BOYS RAN TOWARD THE VILLAGE. THEY LOOKED BEHIND them often, afraid that they were being followed. After a while, they came to the edge of the village. There stood an old building which was not used. They ran through the open door and fell to the ground. “Huckleberry, what do you think will happen now?” “If the doctor dies, they will hang In...
AT NOON THE WHOLE VILLAGE SUDDENLY KNEW THE FEARFUL NEWS. The story traveled quickly from man to man, group to group, house to house. The schoolteacher closed the school. The knife had been found. It was known to be Potter’s knife. And Potter had been seen washing himself in a small stream, in the very early morning. When seen, he had run away. All...
TOM HAD A NEW AND GREAT TROUBLE. BECKY THATCHER WAS ILL. He was afraid that she might die. The joy of life was gone. He played no games. He was not inter ested in anything. His aunt did not know what was wrong. She tried to find some help for him. She was always reading about health. She read about how to go to bed, and how to get up from bed, what...
TOM HAD DECIDED NOW. HE WAS SAD AND WITHOUT HOPE. HE WAS boy with no friends. No person loved him. He had tried to do what was right, but they would not let him. Yes, they were forcing him into bad life. He could now choose nothing else. He had come far from the village. He heard the distant school bell, and he knew that he would never, never hear ...
OPENING HIS EYES, TOM WONDERED WHERE HE WAS. HE SAT UP AND looked around. Then he remembered. It was cool and the light was the gray color of early morning. There was a delightful feeling of rest and peace in the deep quiet of the forest. A thin blue breath of smoke rose from the fire. Joe and Huck were yet asleep. Now, far away, a bird called. Ano...
A FEW MINUTES LATER TOM WAS WALKING INTO THE WATER TOWARD the shore where the riverboat was tied. The stream was not wide here, but it was strong. It carried Tom south. But after a while he arrived at the river’s edge. He found a good place and pulled himself out of the water. He began walking north through the trees, near the shore. He arrived at ...
BUT THERE WAS NO JOY IN THE LITTLE TOWN THAT SAME AFTERNOON. The village was more quiet than usual. The people had little to say to each other. The children had no pleasure in their games. Becky Thatcher was walking near the school. She thought, “Oh, I wish I had not returned to Tom that bright, shining ball he gave me! I have nothing to help me re...
THAT WAS TOM’S GREAT PLAN—TO RETURN HOME WITH THE OTHER pirates and go to the church to hear people pray for their souls. They had returned across the river in the darkness the night before, and had stayed in the forest until nearly daylight. They had entered the church and finished their sleep there before the people came. Then they appeared at th...
TOM ARRIVED AT HOME FEELING VERY SAD, AND HIS AUNT’S FIRST words made him feel no better. “Tom, I ought to beat you!” “Aunt Polly, what have I done?” “I went to see Mrs. Harper to tell her about your dream. Joe had already told her that you were here that night. Tom, I do not know what to think of a boy like you. I believed your story of your dream...
TOM WAS HAPPY AGAIN. HE STARTED WALKING TO SCHOOL, AND SOON saw Becky Thatcher, also going toward the school. Quickly he ran to her and said: “I am sorry I acted as I did this morning, Becky. I won’t ever be like that again. Please let us be friends.” The girl stopped and looked into his face. “Go away, Mr. Thomas Sawyer. I will never speak to you ...
SUMMER HAD COME. FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THERE WOULD BE NO school. Tom discovered that the days were too long. He did not have enough to do. He decided to make a record of everything that happened. But nothing happened during three days. He decided that a record would be of no value. Becky Thatcher had gone away. During the summer she was liv ing in ano...
TOM WAS FAMOUS ONCE AGAIN. THE OLD PEOPLE LOVED HIM AND THE young people wished that they were like him. His name appeared in the village newspaper. There were people who believed that he might some day become President of the United States, if he escaped hanging. Now all were kind to Muff Potter, forgetting that they had not been kind before. Tom’...
THERE COMES A TIME IN EVERY BOY’S LIFE WHEN HE WANTS TO HUNT for gold and silver that pirates have put deep in the earth. This desire suddenly came to Tom. He tried to find Joe Harper, but failed. He tried to find Ben Rogers, but Ben had gone fishing. Then he met Huck Finn. Tom took him to a place where they could be alone, and he explained. Huck a...
ON SATURDAY, SOON AFTER NOON, THE BOYS MET AT THE DEAD TREE. They smoked and talked in the shade. Then they worked a little at their last hole. They had no great hope. But Tom said that people some times stopped working when they had almost found the box of gold. Then another person came and with very little work discovered it. However, they failed...
THE ADVENTURE OF THE DAY TROUBLED TOM’S DREAMS THAT NIGHT. Four times he had his hands on that gold. Four times he opened his eyes and discovered that he had nothing. In the early morning as he was in bed, thinking of his great adventure, it all seemed strangely far away. It might have happened in another world, or in a time long past. Then the tho...
THEY WAITED THREE NIGHTS. THE FOURTH NIGHT WAS DARK ENOUGH. The public house closed at a late hour, but Tom and Huck were near. Indian Joe had not been seen. No other person had been in the street behind the house. The two adventurers moved quietly toward the door in the dark ness. Huck stopped, to remain as a guard, and Tom went forward. Then ther...
THE NEXT MORNING TOM HEARD GLAD NEWS—JUDGE THATCHER’S family had returned. Both Indian Joe and the box of gold were not so important for a while. More good news made the day perfect. The following day Becky would have her picnic. Before eleven in the morning the young people were at Judge Thatcher’s house, ready to start. Soon the happy group was w...
