1They moved up the river street three blocks, then turned to the left up a crossstreet. They went straight ahead, then,
2until they came to the path that led up Cardiff Hill; this they took. They passed by the old Welshman's house, halfway
3up the hill, without hesitating, and still climbed upward. Good, thought Huck, they will bury it in the old quarry. But
4they never stopped at the quarry. They passed on, up the summit. They plunged into the narrow path between the tall
5sumach bushes, and were at once hidden in the gloom. Huck closed up and shortened his distance, now, for they would
6never be able to see him. He trotted along awhile; then slackened his pace, fearing he was gaining too fast; moved on a
7piece, then stopped altogether; listened; no sound; none, save that he seemed to hear the beating of his own heart. The
8hooting of an owl came over the hill--ominous sound! But no footsteps. Heavens, was everything lost! He was about to
9spring with winged feet, when a man cleared his throat not four feet from him! Huck's heart shot into his throat, but he
10swallowed it again; and then he stood there shaking as if a dozen agues had taken charge of him at once, and so weak
11that he thought he must surely fall to the ground. He knew where he was. He knew he was within five steps of the stile
12leading into Widow Douglas' grounds. Very well, he thought, let them bury it there; it won't be hard to find. Now there
13was a voice--a very low voice--Injun Joe's: "Damn her, maybe she's got company--there's lights, late as it is." "I can't
14see any." This was that stranger's voice--the stranger of the haunted house. A deadly chill went to Huck's heart--this,
15then, was the "revenge" job! His thought was, to fly. Then he remembered that the Widow Douglas had been kind to him
16more than once, and maybe these men were going to murder her. He wished he dared venture to warn her; but he knew he
17didn't dare--they might come and catch him. He thought all this and more in the moment that elapsed between the
18stranger's remark and Injun Joe's next--which was-- "Because the bush is in your way. Now--this way--now you see, don't
19you?" "Yes. Well, there is company there, I reckon. Better give it up." "Give it up, and I just leaving this country
20forever! 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
21swag--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
22the peace that jugged me for a vagrant. And that ain't all. It ain't a millionth part of it! He had me
23horsewhipped!--horsewhipped in front of the jail, like a nigger!--with all the town looking on! Horsewhipped!--do you
24understand? 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?
25Who said anything about killing? I would kill him if he was here; but not her. When you want to get revenge on a woman
26you don't kill her--bosh! you go for her looks. You slit her nostrils--you notch her ears like a sow!" "By God,
27that's--" "Keep your opinion to yourself! It will be safest for you. I'll tie her to the bed. If she bleeds to death, is
28that my fault? I'll not cry, if she does. My friend, you'll help me in this thing--for my sake--that's why you're
29here--I mightn't be able alone. If you flinch, I'll kill you. Do you understand that? And if I have to kill you, I'll
30kill her--and then I reckon nobody'll ever know much about who done this business." "Well, if it's got to be done, let's
31get at it. The quicker the better--I'm all in a shiver." "Do it now? And company there? Look here--I'll get suspicious
32of you, first thing you know. No--we'll wait till the lights are out--there's no hurry." Huck felt that a silence was
33going to ensue--a thing still more awful than any amount of murderous talk; so he held his breath and stepped gingerly
34back; planted his foot carefully and firmly, after balancing, one-legged, in a precarious way and almost toppling over,
35first on one side and then on the other. He took another step back, with the same elaboration and the same risks; then
36another and another, and--a twig snapped under his foot! His breath stopped and he listened. There was no sound--the
37stillness was perfect. His gratitude was measureless. Now he turned in his tracks, between the walls of sumach
38bushes--turned himself as carefully as if he were a ship--and then stepped quickly but cautiously along. When he emerged
39at the quarry he felt secure, and so he picked up his nimble heels and flew. Down, down he sped, till he reached the
40Welshman's. He banged at the door, and presently the heads of the old man and his two stalwart sons were thrust from
41windows. "What's the row there? Who's banging? What do you want?" "Let me in--quick! I'll tell everything." "Why, who
42are you?" "Huckleberry Finn--quick, let me in!" "Huckleberry Finn, indeed! It ain't a name to open many doors, I judge!
43But let him in, lads, and let's see what's the trouble." "Please don't ever tell I told you," were Huck's first words
44when he got in. "Please don't--I'd be killed, sure--but the widow's been good friends to me sometimes, and I want to
45tell--I will tell if you'll promise you won't ever say it was me." "By George, he has got something to tell, or he
46wouldn't act so!" exclaimed the old man; "out with it and nobody here'll ever tell, lad." Three minutes later the old
47man and his sons, well armed, were up the hill, and just entering the sumach path on tiptoe, their weapons in their
48hands. Huck accompanied them no further. He hid behind a great bowlder and fell to listening. There was a lagging,
49anxious silence, and then all of a sudden there was an explosion of firearms and a cry. Huck waited for no particulars.
50He sprang away and sped down the hill as fast as his legs could carry him.
