"And
kill
them?"
"No,
not
always.
We’ll
keep
them
in
the
cave
until
they
pay
money."
"What’s
ransom?"
"It’s
money.
They
get
it
from
friends.
If
they
don’t
pay
in
a
year,
then
we
kill
them.
But
we
don’t
kill
women.
We
keep
them,
but
don’t
kill
them.
They’re
always
pretty
and
rich.
We
take
their
watches
and
things,
but
we’re
polite.
Robbers
are
always
polite,
like
in
books.
The
women
start
to
like
us.
After
a
week
or
two,
they
stop
crying
and
don’t
want
to
leave.
If
you
make
them
leave,

come
back.
It’s
always
like
that
in
books."
"That
sounds

because
it’s

and
we
can
see
circuses."
Everything
was
ready,
and
the
boys
went
into
the
hole.
Tom
led
the
way.
They
went
to
the
end
of
the
tunnel,
tied
their
kite
strings,
and
moved
on.
They
reached
the
spring,
and
Tom
felt
a
shiver.
He
showed
Huck
a
candle-wick
on
the
wall
and
told
how
he
and
Becky
watched
the
flame
go
out.
The
boys
whispered
now
because
the
place
was
quiet
and
dark.
They
followed
Tom’s
path
until
they
reached
the
"jumping-off
place."
The
candles
showed
it
was
not
a
cliff,
just
a
steep
hill.
Tom
whispered:
