Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 18, Página 8
At
school
the
children
made
so
much
of
him
and
of
Joe,
and
delivered
such
eloquent
admiration
from
their
eyes,
that
the
two
heroes
were
not
long
in
becoming
insufferably
“stuck-up.”
They
began
to
tell
their
adventures
to
hungry
listeners—but
they
only
began;
it
was
not
a
thing
likely
to
have
an
end,
with
imaginations
like
theirs
to
furnish
material.
And
finally,
when
they
got
out
their
pipes
and
went
serenely
puffing
around,
the
very
summit
of
glory
was
reached.
Tom
decided
that
he
could
be
independent
of
Becky
Thatcher
now.
Glory
was
sufficient.
He
would
live
for
glory.
Now
that
he
was
distinguished,
maybe
she
would
be
wanting
to
“make
up.”
Well,
let
her—she
should
see
that
he
could
be
as
indifferent
as
some
other
people.
Presently
she
arrived.
Tom
pretended
not
to
see
her.
He
moved
away
and
joined
a
group
of
boys
and
girls
and
began
to
talk.
Soon
he
observed
that
she
was
tripping
gayly
back
and
forth
with
flushed
face
and
dancing
eyes,
pretending
to
be
busy
chasing
schoolmates,
and
screaming
with
laughter
when
she
made
a
capture;
but
he
noticed
that
she
always
made
her
captures
in
his
vicinity,
and
that
she
seemed
to
cast
a
conscious
eye
in
his
direction
at
such
times,
too.
It
gratified
all
the
vicious
vanity
that
was
in
him;
and
so,
instead
of
winning
him,
it
only
“set
him
up”
the
more
and
made
him
the
more
diligent
to
avoid
betraying
that
he
knew
she
was
about.
Presently
she
gave
over
skylarking,
and
moved
irresolutely
about,
sighing
once
or
twice
and
glancing
furtively
and
wistfully
toward
Tom.
Then
she
observed
that
now
Tom
was
talking
more
particularly
to
Amy
Lawrence
than
to
any
one
else.
She
felt
a
sharp
pang
and
grew
disturbed
and
uneasy
at
once.
She
tried
to
go
away,
but
her
feet
were
treacherous,
and
carried
her
to
the
group
instead.
She
said
to
a
girl
almost
at
Tom’s
elbow—with
sham
vivacity:
“Why,
Mary
Austin!
you
bad
girl,
why
didn’t
you
come
to
Sunday-school?”
“I
did
come—didn’t
you
see
me?”
“Why,
no!
Did
you?
Where
did
you
sit?”
“I
was
in
Miss
Peters’
class,
where
I
always
go.
I
saw
you.”
“Did
you?
Why,
it’s
funny
I
didn’t
see
you.
I
wanted
to
tell
you
about
the
picnic.”
“Oh,
that’s
jolly.
Who’s
going
to
give
it?”
