Capítulo 13, Página 8
“Who?”
said
Huck.
“Why,
the
pirates.”
Huck
scanned
his
own
clothing
forlornly.
“I
reckon
I
ain’t
dressed
fitten
for
a
pirate,”
said
he,
with
a
regretful
pathos
in
his
voice;
“but
I
ain’t
got
none
but
these.”
But
the
other
boys
told
him
the
fine
clothes
would
come
fast
enough,
after
they
should
have
begun
their
adventures.
They
made
him
understand
that
his
poor
rags
would
do
to
begin
with,
though
it
was
customary
for
wealthy
pirates
to
start
with
a
proper
wardrobe.
Gradually
their
talk
died
out
and
drowsiness
began
to
steal
upon
the
eyelids
of
the
little
waifs.
The
pipe
dropped
from
the
fingers
of
the
Red-Handed,
and
he
slept
the
sleep
of
the
conscience-free
and
the
weary.
The
Terror
of
the
Seas
and
the
Black
Avenger
of
the
Spanish
Main
had
more
difficulty
in
getting
to
sleep.
They
said
their
prayers
inwardly,
and
lying
down,
since
there
was
nobody
there
with
authority
to
make
them
kneel
and
recite
aloud;
in
truth,
they
had
a
mind
not
to
say
them
at
all,
but
they
were
afraid
to
proceed
to
such
lengths
as
that,
lest
they
might
call
down
a
sudden
and
special
thunderbolt
from
heaven.
Then
at
once
they
reached
and
hovered
upon
the
imminent
verge
of
sleep—but
an
intruder
came,
now,
that
would
not
“down.”
It
was
conscience.
They
began
to
feel
a
vague
fear
that
they
had
been
doing
wrong
to
run
away;
and
next
they
thought
of
the
stolen
meat,
and
then
the
real
torture
came.
They
tried
to
argue
it
away
by
reminding
conscience
that
they
had
purloined
sweetmeats
and
apples
scores
of
times;
but
conscience
was
not
to
be
appeased
by
such
thin
plausibilities;
it
seemed
to
them,
in
the
end,
that
there
was
no
getting
around
the
stubborn
fact
that
taking
sweetmeats
was
only
“hooking,”
while
taking
bacon
and
hams
and
such
valuables
was
plain
simple
stealing—and
there
was
a
command
against
that
in
the
Bible.
So
they
inwardly
resolved
that
so
long
as
they
remained
in
the
business,
their
piracies
should
not
again
be
sullied
with
the
crime
of
stealing.
Then
conscience
granted
a
truce,
and
these
curiously
inconsistent
pirates
fell
peacefully
to
sleep.
