Capítulo 11, Página 5
“Oh,
it’s
that
awful
murder.
I
dream
about
it
almost
every
night
myself.
Sometimes
I
dream
I
did
it.”
Mary
said
she
felt
the
same
way.
Sid
seemed
satisfied.
Tom
left
the
room
as
quickly
as
he
could,
and
after
that,
he
complained
of
a
toothache
for
a
week,
tying
up
his
jaw
every
night.
He
didn’t
know
Sid
watched
him
at
night,
often
loosening
the
bandage
and
listening
for
a
long
time,
then
putting
it
back.
Tom’s
guilty
feelings
faded
gradually,
and
the
toothache
became
annoying,
so
he
stopped
pretending.
If
Sid
understood
anything
from
Tom’s
mutterings,
he
kept
it
to
himself.
It
seemed
to
Tom
that
his
classmates
would
never
stop
holding
inquests
on
dead
cats,
keeping
his
worries
fresh
in
his
mind.
Sid
noticed
that
Tom
never
acted
as
coroner
in
these
inquests,
even
though
he
usually
led
new
activities.
He
also
saw
that
Tom
never
acted
as
a
witness,
which
was
strange.
Sid
noticed
Tom
avoided
these
inquests
whenever
he
could.
Sid
was
curious
but
said
nothing.
Eventually,
even
inquests
went
out
of
style
and
stopped
bothering
Tom.
During
this
sad
time,
Tom
often
found
chances
to
go
to
the
small
jail
window
and
secretly
give
the
“murderer”
small
comforts
he
could
find.
The
jail
was
a
small
brick
building
in
a
marsh
at
the
village
edge,
with
no
guards
because
it
was
rarely
used.
These
small
gifts
helped
ease
Tom’s
guilty
conscience.
The
villagers
really
wanted
to
punish
Injun
Joe
for
stealing
bodies.
They
talked
about
covering
him
in
tar
and
feathers
and
carrying
him
out
of
town
on
a
rail.
But
Injun
Joe
was
so
scary
that
no
one
wanted
to
be
the
first
to
act,
so
they
gave
up
the
idea.
Injun
Joe
had
been
smart
in
his
statements
during
the
inquest.
He
started
by
talking
about
the
fight
and
didn't
mention
the
grave-robbing
before
it.
Because
of
this,
people
thought
it
was
best
not
to
take
the
case
to
court
right
now.
