Capítulo 11, Página 5
“Sho!
It’s
that
dreadful
murder.
I
dream
about
it
most
every
night
myself.
Sometimes
I
dream
it’s
me
that
done
it.”
Mary
said
she
had
been
affected
much
the
same
way.
Sid
seemed
satisfied.
Tom
got
out
of
the
presence
as
quick
as
he
plausibly
could,
and
after
that
he
complained
of
toothache
for
a
week,
and
tied
up
his
jaws
every
night.
He
never
knew
that
Sid
lay
nightly
watching,
and
frequently
slipped
the
bandage
free
and
then
leaned
on
his
elbow
listening
a
good
while
at
a
time,
and
afterward
slipped
the
bandage
back
to
its
place
again.
Tom’s
distress
of
mind
wore
off
gradually
and
the
toothache
grew
irksome
and
was
discarded.
If
Sid
really
managed
to
make
anything
out
of
Tom’s
disjointed
mutterings,
he
kept
it
to
himself.
It
seemed
to
Tom
that
his
schoolmates
never
would
get
done
holding
inquests
on
dead
cats,
and
thus
keeping
his
trouble
present
to
his
mind.
Sid
noticed
that
Tom
never
was
coroner
at
one
of
these
inquiries,
though
it
had
been
his
habit
to
take
the
lead
in
all
new
enterprises;
he
noticed,
too,
that
Tom
never
acted
as
a
witness—and
that
was
strange;
and
Sid
did
not
overlook
the
fact
that
Tom
even
showed
a
marked
aversion
to
these
inquests,
and
always
avoided
them
when
he
could.
Sid
marvelled,
but
said
nothing.
However,
even
inquests
went
out
of
vogue
at
last,
and
ceased
to
torture
Tom’s
conscience.
Every
day
or
two,
during
this
time
of
sorrow,
Tom
watched
his
opportunity
and
went
to
the
little
grated
jail-window
and
smuggled
such
small
comforts
through
to
the
“murderer”
as
he
could
get
hold
of.
The
jail
was
a
trifling
little
brick
den
that
stood
in
a
marsh
at
the
edge
of
the
village,
and
no
guards
were
afforded
for
it;
indeed,
it
was
seldom
occupied.
These
offerings
greatly
helped
to
ease
Tom’s
conscience.
The
villagers
had
a
strong
desire
to
tar-and-feather
Injun
Joe
and
ride
him
on
a
rail,
for
body-snatching,
but
so
formidable
was
his
character
that
nobody
could
be
found
who
was
willing
to
take
the
lead
in
the
matter,
so
it
was
dropped.
He
had
been
careful
to
begin
both
of
his
inquest-statements
with
the
fight,
without
confessing
the
grave-robbery
that
preceded
it;
therefore
it
was
deemed
wisest
not
to
try
the
case
in
the
courts
at
present.
