Capítulo 29, Página 4
“Damn
her,
maybe
she
has
company—there
are
lights,
even
this
late.”
“I
can’t
see
any.”
This
was
the
stranger’s
voice—the
stranger
from
the
haunted
house.
A
cold
fear
gripped
Huck’s
heart—this
was
the
“revenge”
job!
He
thought
of
running.
Then
he
remembered
Widow
Douglas
had
been
kind
to
him
before,
and
maybe
these
men
wanted
to
hurt
her.
He
wished
he
could
warn
her,
but
he
was
too
scared—they
might
catch
him.
He
thought
all
this
quickly
between
the
stranger’s
comment
and
Injun
Joe’s
next
words—
“Because
the
bush
is
in
your
way.
Now—this
way—now
you
see,
don’t
you?”
“Yes.
Well,
there
is
company
there,
I
think.
Better
give
it
up.”
“Give
it
up,
and
I’m
just
leaving
this
country
forever!
Give
it
up
and
maybe
never
have
another
chance.
I’ve
told
you
before,
I
don’t
care
for
her
money—you
can
have
it.
But
her
husband
was
rough
on
me—he
was
rough
many
times—and
he
was
the
justice
of
the
peace
who
jailed
me
for
being
a
vagrant.
And
that’s
not
all.
He
had
me
whipped—whipped
in
front
of
the
jail,
like
a
slave!—with
everyone
watching!
Whipped!—do
you
get
it?
He
took
advantage
of
me
and
then
died.
But
I’ll
get
my
revenge
on
her.”
“Oh,
don’t
kill
her!
Don’t
do
that!”
“Kill?
Who
said
anything
about
killing?
I
would
kill
him
if
he
was
here;
but
not
her.
When
you
want
revenge
on
a
woman,
you
don’t
kill
her—nonsense!
you
ruin
her
looks.
You
cut
her
nostrils—you
notch
her
ears
like
a
pig!”
