Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 6, Página 16
The
master’s
pulse
stood
still,
and
he
stared
helplessly.
The
buzz
of
study
ceased.
The
pupils
wondered
if
this
foolhardy
boy
had
lost
his
mind.
The
master
said:
“You—you
did
what?”
“Stopped
to
talk
with
Huckleberry
Finn.”
There
was
no
mistaking
the
words.
“Thomas
Sawyer,
this
is
the
most
astounding
confession
I
have
ever
listened
to.
No
mere
ferule
will
answer
for
this
offence.
Take
off
your
jacket.”
The
master’s
arm
performed
until
it
was
tired
and
the
stock
of
switches
notably
diminished.
Then
the
order
followed:
“Now,
sir,
go
and
sit
with
the
girls!
And
let
this
be
a
warning
to
you.”
The
titter
that
rippled
around
the
room
appeared
to
abash
the
boy,
but
in
reality
that
result
was
caused
rather
more
by
his
worshipful
awe
of
his
unknown
idol
and
the
dread
pleasure
that
lay
in
his
high
good
fortune.
He
sat
down
upon
the
end
of
the
pine
bench
and
the
girl
hitched
herself
away
from
him
with
a
toss
of
her
head.
Nudges
and
winks
and
whispers
traversed
the
room,
but
Tom
sat
still,
with
his
arms
upon
the
long,
low
desk
before
him,
and
seemed
to
study
his
book.
