Capítulo 29, Página 4
“Damn
her,
maybe
she’s
got
company—there’s
lights,
late
as
it
is.”
“I
can’t
see
any.”
This
was
that
stranger’s
voice—the
stranger
of
the
haunted
house.
A
deadly
chill
went
to
Huck’s
heart—this,
then,
was
the
“revenge”
job!
His
thought
was,
to
fly.
Then
he
remembered
that
the
Widow
Douglas
had
been
kind
to
him
more
than
once,
and
maybe
these
men
were
going
to
murder
her.
He
wished
he
dared
venture
to
warn
her;
but
he
knew
he
didn’t
dare—they
might
come
and
catch
him.
He
thought
all
this
and
more
in
the
moment
that
elapsed
between
the
stranger’s
remark
and
Injun
Joe’s
next—which
was—
“Because
the
bush
is
in
your
way.
Now—this
way—now
you
see,
don’t
you?”
“Yes.
Well,
there
is
company
there,
I
reckon.
Better
give
it
up.”
“Give
it
up,
and
I
just
leaving
this
country
forever!
Give
it
up
and
maybe
never
have
another
chance.
I
tell
you
again,
as
I’ve
told
you
before,
I
don’t
care
for
her
swag—you
may
have
it.
But
her
husband
was
rough
on
me—many
times
he
was
rough
on
me—and
mainly
he
was
the
justice
of
the
peace
that
jugged
me
for
a
vagrant.
And
that
ain’t
all.
It
ain’t
a
millionth
part
of
it!
He
had
me
horsewhipped!—horsewhipped
in
front
of
the
jail,
like
a
nigger!—with
all
the
town
looking
on!
Horsewhipped!—do
you
understand?
He
took
advantage
of
me
and
died.
But
I’ll
take
it
out
of
her.”
“Oh,
don’t
kill
her!
Don’t
do
that!”
“Kill?
Who
said
anything
about
killing?
I
would
kill
him
if
he
was
here;
but
not
her.
When
you
want
to
get
revenge
on
a
woman
you
don’t
kill
her—bosh!
you
go
for
her
looks.
You
slit
her
nostrils—you
notch
her
ears
like
a
sow!”
