Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 18, Página 7
“And
then
there
was
a
whole
lot
of
talk
’bout
dragging
the
river
for
us,
and
’bout
having
the
funeral
Sunday,
and
then
you
and
old
Miss
Harper
hugged
and
cried,
and
she
went.”
“It
happened
just
so!
It
happened
just
so,
as
sure
as
I’m
a-sitting
in
these
very
tracks.
Tom,
you
couldn’t
told
it
more
like
if
you’d
’a’
seen
it!
And
then
what?
Go
on,
Tom!”
“Then
I
thought
you
prayed
for
me—and
I
could
see
you
and
hear
every
word
you
said.
And
you
went
to
bed,
and
I
was
so
sorry
that
I
took
and
wrote
on
a
piece
of
sycamore
bark,
‘We
ain’t
dead—we
are
only
off
being
pirates,’
and
put
it
on
the
table
by
the
candle;
and
then
you
looked
so
good,
laying
there
asleep,
that
I
thought
I
went
and
leaned
over
and
kissed
you
on
the
lips.”
“Did
you,
Tom,
did
you!
I
just
forgive
you
everything
for
that!”
And
she
seized
the
boy
in
a
crushing
embrace
that
made
him
feel
like
the
guiltiest
of
villains.
“It
was
very
kind,
even
though
it
was
only
a—dream,”
Sid
soliloquized
just
audibly.
“Shut
up,
Sid!
A
body
does
just
the
same
in
a
dream
as
he’d
do
if
he
was
awake.
Here’s
a
big
Milum
apple
I’ve
been
saving
for
you,
Tom,
if
you
was
ever
found
again—now
go
’long
to
school.
I’m
thankful
to
the
good
God
and
Father
of
us
all
I’ve
got
you
back,
that’s
long-suffering
and
merciful
to
them
that
believe
on
Him
and
keep
His
word,
though
goodness
knows
I’m
unworthy
of
it,
but
if
only
the
worthy
ones
got
His
blessings
and
had
His
hand
to
help
them
over
the
rough
places,
there’s
few
enough
would
smile
here
or
ever
enter
into
His
rest
when
the
long
night
comes.
Go
’long
Sid,
Mary,
Tom—take
yourselves
off—you’ve
hendered
me
long
enough.”
The
children
left
for
school,
and
the
old
lady
to
call
on
Mrs.
Harper
and
vanquish
her
realism
with
Tom’s
marvellous
dream.
Sid
had
better
judgment
than
to
utter
the
thought
that
was
in
his
mind
as
he
left
the
house.
It
was
this:
“Pretty
thin—as
long
a
dream
as
that,
without
any
mistakes
in
it!”
What
a
hero
Tom
was
become,
now!
He
did
not
go
skipping
and
prancing,
but
moved
with
a
dignified
swagger
as
became
a
pirate
who
felt
that
the
public
eye
was
on
him.
And
indeed
it
was;
he
tried
not
to
seem
to
see
the
looks
or
hear
the
remarks
as
he
passed
along,
but
they
were
food
and
drink
to
him.
Smaller
boys
than
himself
flocked
at
his
heels,
as
proud
to
be
seen
with
him,
and
tolerated
by
him,
as
if
he
had
been
the
drummer
at
the
head
of
a
procession
or
the
elephant
leading
a
menagerie
into
town.
Boys
of
his
own
size
pretended
not
to
know
he
had
been
away
at
all;
but
they
were
consuming
with
envy,
nevertheless.
They
would
have
given
anything
to
have
that
swarthy
sun-tanned
skin
of
his,
and
his
glittering
notoriety;
and
Tom
would
not
have
parted
with
either
for
a
circus.
