Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 34, Página 3
Some
minutes
later
the
widow’s
guests
were
at
the
supper-table,
and
a
dozen
children
were
propped
up
at
little
side-tables
in
the
same
room,
after
the
fashion
of
that
country
and
that
day.
At
the
proper
time
Mr.
Jones
made
his
little
speech,
in
which
he
thanked
the
widow
for
the
honor
she
was
doing
himself
and
his
sons,
but
said
that
there
was
another
person
whose
modesty—
And
so
forth
and
so
on.
He
sprung
his
secret
about
Huck’s
share
in
the
adventure
in
the
finest
dramatic
manner
he
was
master
of,
but
the
surprise
it
occasioned
was
largely
counterfeit
and
not
as
clamorous
and
effusive
as
it
might
have
been
under
happier
circumstances.
However,
the
widow
made
a
pretty
fair
show
of
astonishment,
and
heaped
so
many
compliments
and
so
much
gratitude
upon
Huck
that
he
almost
forgot
the
nearly
intolerable
discomfort
of
his
new
clothes
in
the
entirely
intolerable
discomfort
of
being
set
up
as
a
target
for
everybody’s
gaze
and
everybody’s
laudations.
The
widow
said
she
meant
to
give
Huck
a
home
under
her
roof
and
have
him
educated;
and
that
when
she
could
spare
the
money
she
would
start
him
in
business
in
a
modest
way.
Tom’s
chance
was
come.
He
said:
“Huck
don’t
need
it.
Huck’s
rich.”
Nothing
but
a
heavy
strain
upon
the
good
manners
of
the
company
kept
back
the
due
and
proper
complimentary
laugh
at
this
pleasant
joke.
But
the
silence
was
a
little
awkward.
Tom
broke
it:
“Huck’s
got
money.
Maybe
you
don’t
believe
it,
but
he’s
got
lots
of
it.
Oh,
you
needn’t
smile—I
reckon
I
can
show
you.
You
just
wait
a
minute.”
Tom
ran
out
of
doors.
The
company
looked
at
each
other
with
a
perplexed
interest—and
inquiringly
at
Huck,
who
was
tongue-tied.
“Sid,
what
ails
Tom?”
said
Aunt
Polly.
“He—well,
there
ain’t
ever
any
making
of
that
boy
out.
I
never—”
