Capítulo 29, Página 4
“Damn
her,
maybe
she’s
got
company—there
are
lights,
even
this
late.”
“I
can’t
see
any.”
This
was
the
stranger’s
voice—the
one
from
the
haunted
house.
A
chill
ran
through
Huck—this
was
the
“revenge”
job!
His
instinct
was
to
run.
But
he
remembered
how
kind
Widow
Douglas
had
been
to
him,
and
maybe
these
men
were
planning
to
kill
her.
He
wished
he
could
warn
her;
but
he
knew
he
didn’t
dare—they
might
catch
him.
He
thought
all
this
in
the
moment
between
the
stranger’s
remark
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
reckon.
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
tell
you
again,
as
I’ve
told
you
before,
I
don’t
care
for
her
money—you
can
have
it.
But
her
husband
was
rough
on
me—many
times
he
was
rough
on
me—and
mainly
he
was
the
justice
of
the
peace
who
jailed
me
for
being
a
vagrant.
And
that’s
not
all.
It’s
not
even
a
fraction
of
it!
He
had
me
whipped!—whipped
in
front
of
the
jail,
like
a
slave!—with
all
the
town
watching!
Whipped!—do
you
understand?
He
took
advantage
of
me
and
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
were
here;
but
not
her.
When
you
want
revenge
on
a
woman
you
don’t
kill
her—nonsense!
You
go
for
her
appearance.
You
cut
her
nostrils—you
notch
her
ears
like
a
pig!”
