Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 19, Página 4
“Because
I
loved
you
so,
and
you
laid
there
moaning
and
I
was
so
sorry.”
The
words
sounded
like
truth.
The
old
lady
could
not
hide
a
tremor
in
her
voice
when
she
said:
“Kiss
me
again,
Tom!—and
be
off
with
you
to
school,
now,
and
don’t
bother
me
any
more.”
The
moment
he
was
gone,
she
ran
to
a
closet
and
got
out
the
ruin
of
a
jacket
which
Tom
had
gone
pirating
in.
Then
she
stopped,
with
it
in
her
hand,
and
said
to
herself:
“No,
I
don’t
dare.
Poor
boy,
I
reckon
he’s
lied
about
it—but
it’s
a
blessed,
blessed
lie,
there’s
such
a
comfort
come
from
it.
I
hope
the
Lord—I
know
the
Lord
will
forgive
him,
because
it
was
such
good-heartedness
in
him
to
tell
it.
But
I
don’t
want
to
find
out
it’s
a
lie.
I
won’t
look.”
She
put
the
jacket
away,
and
stood
by
musing
a
minute.
Twice
she
put
out
her
hand
to
take
the
garment
again,
and
twice
she
refrained.
Once
more
she
ventured,
and
this
time
she
fortified
herself
with
the
thought:
“It’s
a
good
lie—it’s
a
good
lie—I
won’t
let
it
grieve
me.”
So
she
sought
the
jacket
pocket.
A
moment
later
she
was
reading
Tom’s
piece
of
bark
through
flowing
tears
and
saying:
“I
could
forgive
the
boy,
now,
if
he’d
committed
a
million
sins!”
