Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 10, Página 1
The
two
boys
flew
on
and
on,
toward
the
village,
speechless
with
horror.
They
glanced
backward
over
their
shoulders
from
time
to
time,
apprehensively,
as
if
they
feared
they
might
be
followed.
Every
stump
that
started
up
in
their
path
seemed
a
man
and
an
enemy,
and
made
them
catch
their
breath;
and
as
they
sped
by
some
outlying
cottages
that
lay
near
the
village,
the
barking
of

last,
breast

breast,
they
burst
through
the
open
door
and
fell
grateful
and
exhausted
in
the
sheltering
shadows
beyond.
By
and
by
their
pulses
slowed
down,
and
Tom
whispered:
“Huckleberry,
what
do

reckon’ll
come
of
this?”
“If
Doctor
Robinson
dies,
I
reckon
hanging’ll
