1So I started for town in the wagon, and when I was half-way I see a wagon coming, and sure enough it was Tom Sawyer, and
2I stopped and waited till he come along. I says "Hold on!" and it stopped alongside, and his mouth opened up like a
3trunk, and stayed so; and he swallowed two or three times like a person that's got a dry throat, and then says: "I
4hain't ever done you no harm. You know that. So, then, what you want to come back and ha'nt me for?" I says: "I hain't
5come back--I hain't been gone." When he heard my voice it righted him up some, but he warn't quite satisfied yet. He
6says: "Don't you play nothing on me, because I wouldn't on you. Honest injun, now, you ain't a ghost?" "Honest injun, I
7ain't," I says. "Well--I--I--well, that ought to settle it, of course; but I can't somehow seem to understand it no way.
8Looky here, warn't you ever murdered at all?" "No. I warn't ever murdered at all--I played it on them. You come in here
9and feel of me if you don't believe me." So he done it; and it satisfied him; and he was that glad to see me again he
10didn't know what to do. And he wanted to know all about it right off, because it was a grand adventure, and mysterious,
11and so it hit him where he lived. But I said, leave it alone till by-and-by; and told his driver to wait, and we drove
12off a little piece, and I told him the kind of a fix I was in, and what did he reckon we better do? He said, let him
13alone a minute, and don't disturb him. So he thought and thought, and pretty soon he says: "It's all right; I've got it.
14Take my trunk in your wagon, and let on it's your'n; and you turn back and fool along slow, so as to get to the house
15about the time you ought to; and I'll go towards town a piece, and take a fresh start, and get there a quarter or a half
16an hour after you; and you needn't let on to know me at first." I says: "All right; but wait a minute. There's one more
17thing--a thing that nobody don't know but me. And that is, there's a nigger here that I'm a-trying to steal out of
18slavery, and his name is Jim--old Miss Watson's Jim." He says: "What! Why, Jim is--" He stopped and went to studying. I
19says: "I know what you'll say. You'll say it's dirty, low-down business; but what if it is? I'm low down; and I'm
20a-going to steal him, and I want you keep mum and not let on. Will you?" His eye lit up, and he says: "I'll help you
21steal him!" Well, I let go all holts then, like I was shot. It was the most astonishing speech I ever heard--and I'm
22bound to say Tom Sawyer fell considerable in my estimation. Only I couldn't believe it. Tom Sawyer a nigger stealer!
23"Oh, shucks!" I says; "you're joking." "I ain't joking, either." "Well, then," I says, "joking or no joking, if you hear
24anything said about a runaway nigger, don't forget to remember that you don't know nothing about him, and I don't know
25nothing about him." Then we took the trunk and put it in my wagon, and he drove off his way and I drove mine. But of
26course I forgot all about driving slow on accounts of being glad and full of thinking; so I got home a heap too quick
27for that length of a trip. The old gentleman was at the door, and he says: "Why, this is wonderful! Whoever would a
28thought it was in that mare to do it? I wish we'd a timed her. And she hain't sweated a hair--not a hair. It's
29wonderful. Why, I wouldn't take a hundred dollars for that horse now--I wouldn't, honest; and yet I'd a sold her for
30fifteen before, and thought 'twas all she was worth." That's all he said. He was the innocentest, best old soul I ever
31see. But it warn't surprising; because he warn't only just a farmer, he was a preacher, too, and had a little one-horse
32log church down back of the plantation, which he built it himself at his own expense, for a church and schoolhouse, and
33never charged nothing for his preaching, and it was worth it, too. There was plenty other farmer-preachers like that,
34and done the same way, down South. In about half an hour Tom's wagon drove up to the front stile, and Aunt Sally she see
35it through the window, because it was only about fifty yards, and says: "Why, there's somebody come! I wonder who 'tis?
36Why, I do believe it's a stranger. Jimmy" (that's one of the children) "run and tell Lize to put on another plate for
37dinner." Everybody made a rush for the front door, because, of course, a stranger don't come every year, and so he lays
38over the yaller-fever, for interest, when he does come. Tom was over the stile and starting for the house; the wagon was
39spinning up the road for the village, and we was all bunched in the front door. Tom had his store clothes on, and an
40audience--and that was always nuts for Tom Sawyer. In them circumstances it warn't no trouble to him to throw in an
41amount of style that was suitable. He warn't a boy to meeky along up that yard like a sheep; no, he come ca'm and
42important, like the ram. When he got a-front of us he lifts his hat ever so gracious and dainty, like it was the lid of
43a box that had butterflies asleep in it and he didn't want to disturb them, and says: "Mr. Archibald Nichols, I
44presume?" "No, my boy," says the old gentleman, "I'm sorry to say 't your driver has deceived you; Nichols's place is
45down a matter of three mile more. Come in, come in." Tom he took a look back over his shoulder, and says, "Too
46late--he's out of sight." "Yes, he's gone, my son, and you must come in and eat your dinner with us; and then we'll
47hitch up and take you down to Nichols's." "Oh, I can't make you so much trouble; I couldn't think of it. I'll walk--I
48don't mind the distance." "But we won't let you walk--it wouldn't be Southern hospitality to do it. Come right in." "Oh,
49do," says Aunt Sally; "it ain't a bit of trouble to us, not a bit in the world. You must stay. It's a long, dusty three
50mile, and we can't let you walk. And, besides, I've already told 'em to put on another plate when I see you coming; so
51you mustn't disappoint us. Come right in and make yourself at home." So Tom he thanked them very hearty and handsome,
52and let himself be persuaded, and come in; and when he was in he said he was a stranger from Hicksville, Ohio, and his
53name was William Thompson--and he made another bow. Well, he run on, and on, and on, making up stuff about Hicksville
54and everybody in it he could invent, and I getting a little nervious, and wondering how this was going to help me out of
55my scrape; and at last, still talking along, he reached over and kissed Aunt Sally right on the mouth, and then settled
56back again in his chair comfortable, and was going on talking; but she jumped up and wiped it off with the back of her
57hand, and says: "You owdacious puppy!" He looked kind of hurt, and says: "I'm surprised at you, m'am." "You're
58s'rp--Why, what do you reckon I am? I've a good notion to take and--Say, what do you mean by kissing me?" He looked kind
59of humble, and says: "I didn't mean nothing, m'am. I didn't mean no harm. I--I--thought you'd like it." "Why, you born
60fool!" She took up the spinning stick, and it looked like it was all she could do to keep from giving him a crack with
61it. "What made you think I'd like it?" "Well, I don't know. Only, they--they--told me you would." "They told you I
62would. Whoever told you's another lunatic. I never heard the beat of it. Who's they?" "Why, everybody. They all said so,
63m'am." It was all she could do to hold in; and her eyes snapped, and her fingers worked like she wanted to scratch him;
64and she says: "Who's 'everybody'? Out with their names, or ther'll be an idiot short." He got up and looked distressed,
65and fumbled his hat, and says:
