We spread the blankets inside for a carpet, and eat our dinner in there. We put all the other...

Another night when we was up at the head of the island, just before daylight, here comes a frame...

After breakfast I wanted to talk about the dead man and guess out how he come to be killed, but Jim...

He was barefooted, and the snake bit him right on the heel. That all comes of my being such a fool...

I started across to the town from a little below the ferry landing, and the drift of the current...

I had got so uneasy I couldnt set still. I had to do something with my hands; so I took up a needle...

So I said it wouldnt be no use to try to play it any longer, and I would just make a clean breast...

Jim never asked no questions, he never said a word; but the way he worked for the next half an hour...

We had mountains on the Missouri shore and heavy timber on the Illinois side, and the channel was...

But the old man got pretty silent by and by didnt have much to say, and didnt look pretty...

It didnt take me long to make up my mind that these liars warnt no kings nor dukes at all, but just...

We got away as soon as it was good and dark. The king told us to stand well out towards the middle...

Next day you couldnt hear nothing around that town but how splendid that show was. House was jammed...

You read about them once youll see. Look at Henry the Eight; thisn s a Sunday school Superintendent...

He was uncommon bright, the duke was, and he soon struck it. He dressed Jim up in King Lears outfit...

When I first see you I says to myself, Its Mr. Wilks, sure, and he come mighty near getting here in...

Well, the old man went on asking questions till he just fairly emptied that young fellow. Blamed if...

Kin any of you gentlemen tell me wher Mr. Peter Wilks lives. they give a glance at one another, and...

Then the king he hunched the duke private I see him do it and then he looked around and see the...

So the king he blattered along, and managed to inquire about pretty much everybody and dog in town,...

Good land, duke, lemme hug you. Its the most dazzling idea at ever a man struck. You have certnly...

they bein partickler friends o the diseased. Thats why theyre invited here this evenin; but...

Here is my answer. She hove up the bag of money and put it in the kings hands, and says, Take this...

And when it was all done me and the hare lip had supper in the kitchen off of the leavings, whilst...

Thats always your way, Maim always sailing in to help somebody before theyre hurt. I haint done...

So, thinks I, Ill go and search them rooms. Upstairs the hall was dark, but I found the dukes room,...

I slipped up to bed, feeling ruther blue, on accounts of the thing playing out that way after I had...

They had borrowed a melodeum a sick one; and when everything was ready a young woman set down and...

They didnt do nothing. And they didnt act anyway much, as fur as I see. They tiptoed away; so I...

By and by it was getting up time. So I come down the ladder and started for down stairs; but as I...

Dont you holler. Just set still and take it like a man. I got to tell the truth, and you want to...

Well, thatll answer. Now you go along out there, and lay low till nine or half past to night, and...

Well, then, it shant be. It was well enough to tell her so no harm in it. It was only a little...

Good bye. Im going to do everything just as youve told me; and if I dont ever see you again, I...

Yes, Miss Mary Jane she wanted you to do that. She says, Tell them to give Uncle Harvey and William...

They was fetching a very nice looking old gentleman along, and a nice looking younger one, with his...

It was nuts for the crowd, though maybe not for the kings friends; so we all started. It was about...

Well, then they sailed in on the general investigation, and there we had it, up and down, hour in,...

Blamed if the king didnt have to brace up mighty quick, or hed a squshed down like a bluff bank...

Well, we swarmed along down the river road, just carrying on like wildcats; and to make it more...

Hines let out a whoop, like everybody else, and dropped my wrist and give a big surge to bust his...

So in two seconds away we went a sliding down the river, and it did seem so good to be free again...

So the king sneaked into the wigwam and took to his bottle for comfort, and before long the duke...

But there warnt no answer, and nobody come out of the wigwam. Jim was gone. I set up a shout and...

Once I said to myself it would be a thousand times better for Jim to be a slave at home where his...

It was awful thoughts and awful words, but they was said. And I let them stay said; and never...

We never thought of that. Fact is, I reckon wed come to consider him our nigger; yes, we did...

So I left, and struck for the back country. I didnt look around, but I kinder felt like he was...

When I got half way, first one hound and then another got up and went for me, and of course I...

Now I can have a good look at you; and, laws a me, Ive been hungry for it a many and a many a time,...

But here were a running on this way, and you haint told me a word about Sis, nor any of them. Now...

But if they was joyful, it warnt nothing to what I was; for it was like being born again, I was so...

All right; but wait a minute. Theres one more thing a thing that nobody dont know but me. And that...

Everybody made a rush for the front door, because, of course, a stranger dont come every year, and...

Well, he says, it does surprise me so. I cant make it out, somehow. They said you would, and I...

No, says the old man, I reckon there aint going to be any; and you couldnt go if there was; because...

Well, the nigger unlocked the padlock when he went in, and he locked it again when he came out. He...

Well, one thing was dead sure, and that was that Tom Sawyer was in earnest, and was actuly going to...

In the morning we was up at break of day, and down to the nigger cabins to pet the dogs and make...

It would be most an hour yet till breakfast, so we left and struck down into the woods; because Tom...

Well, I says, if its in the regulations, and hes got to have it, all right, let him have it;...

Well, as I was saying, we waited that morning till everybody was settled down to business, and...

As soon as we reckoned everybody was asleep that night we went down the lightning rod, and shut...

I didnt know just what to do but then I thought. I scratched around amongst the old tools, and got...

So he told Jim how wed have to smuggle in the rope ladder pie and other large things by Nat, the...

Id a heard her if shed a said it to herself, let alone speaking it out; and Id a got up and obeyed...

So I smouched one, and they come out nine, same as the other time. Well, she was in a tearing way...

But we didnt need it. All we needed was just enough for the pie, and so we throwed the rest away....

On the scutcheon well have a bend or in the dexter base, a saltire murrey in the fess, with a dog,...

It warnt no slouch of an idea; and it warnt no slouch of a grindstone nuther; but we allowed wed...

But de trouble all done ef de snake bite me while Is a tryin him. Mars Tom, Is willin to tackle mos...
