1The adventure of the day mightily tormented Tom's dreams that night. Four times he had his hands on that rich treasure
2and four times it wasted to nothingness in his fingers as sleep forsook him and wakefulness brought back the hard
3reality of his misfortune. As he lay in the early morning recalling the incidents of his great adventure, he noticed
4that they seemed curiously subdued and far away--somewhat as if they had happened in another world, or in a time long
5gone by. Then it occurred to him that the great adventure itself must be a dream! There was one very strong argument in
6favor of this idea--namely, that the quantity of coin he had seen was too vast to be real. He had never seen as much as
7fifty dollars in one mass before, and he was like all boys of his age and station in life, in that he imagined that all
8references to "hundreds" and "thousands" were mere fanciful forms of speech, and that no such sums really existed in the
9world. He never had supposed for a moment that so large a sum as a hundred dollars was to be found in actual money in
10any one's possession. If his notions of hidden treasure had been analyzed, they would have been found to consist of a
11handful of real dimes and a bushel of vague, splendid, ungraspable dollars. But the incidents of his adventure grew
12sensibly sharper and clearer under the attrition of thinking them over, and so he presently found himself leaning to the
13impression that the thing might not have been a dream, after all. This uncertainty must be swept away. He would snatch a
14hurried breakfast and go and find Huck. Huck was sitting on the gunwale of a flatboat, listlessly dangling his feet in
15the water and looking very melancholy. Tom concluded to let Huck lead up to the subject. If he did not do it, then the
16adventure would be proved to have been only a dream. "Hello, Huck!" "Hello, yourself." Silence, for a minute. "Tom, if
17we'd 'a' left the blame tools at the dead tree, we'd 'a' got the money. Oh, ain't it awful!" "'Tain't a dream, then,
18'tain't a dream! Somehow I most wish it was. Dog'd if I don't, Huck." "What ain't a dream?" "Oh, that thing yesterday. I
19been half thinking it was." "Dream! If them stairs hadn't broke down you'd 'a' seen how much dream it was! I've had
20dreams enough all night--with that patch-eyed Spanish devil going for me all through 'em--rot him!" "No, not rot him.
21Find him! Track the money!" "Tom, we'll never find him. A feller don't have only one chance for such a pile--and that
22one's lost. I'd feel mighty shaky if I was to see him, anyway." "Well, so'd I; but I'd like to see him, anyway--and
23track him out--to his Number Two." "Number Two--yes, that's it. I been thinking 'bout that. But I can't make nothing out
24of it. What do you reckon it is?" "I dono. It's too deep. Say, Huck--maybe it's the number of a house!" "Goody!... No,
25Tom, that ain't it. If it is, it ain't in this one-horse town. They ain't no numbers here." "Well, that's so. Lemme
26think a minute. Here--it's the number of a room--in a tavern, you know!" "Oh, that's the trick! They ain't only two
27taverns. We can find out quick." "You stay here, Huck, till I come." Tom was off at once. He did not care to have Huck's
28company in public places. He was gone half an hour. He found that in the best tavern, No. 2 had long been occupied by a
29young lawyer, and was still so occupied. In the less ostentatious house, No. 2 was a mystery. The tavern-keeper's young
30son said it was kept locked all the time, and he never saw anybody go into it or come out of it except at night; he did
31not know any particular reason for this state of things; had had some little curiosity, but it was rather feeble; had
32made the most of the mystery by entertaining himself with the idea that that room was "ha'nted"; had noticed that there
33was a light in there the night before. "That's what I've found out, Huck. I reckon that's the very No. 2 we're after."
34"I reckon it is, Tom. Now what you going to do?" "Lemme think." Tom thought a long time. Then he said: "I'll tell you.
35The back door of that No. 2 is the door that comes out into that little close alley between the tavern and the old
36rattle trap of a brick store. Now you get hold of all the doorkeys you can find, and I'll nip all of auntie's, and the
37first dark night we'll go there and try 'em. And mind you, keep a lookout for Injun Joe, because he said he was going to
38drop into town and spy around once more for a chance to get his revenge. If you see him, you just follow him; and if he
39don't go to that No. 2, that ain't the place." "Lordy, I don't want to foller him by myself!" "Why, it'll be night,
40sure. He mightn't ever see you--and if he did, maybe he'd never think anything." "Well, if it's pretty dark I reckon
41I'll track him. I dono--I dono. I'll try." "You bet I'll follow him, if it's dark, Huck. Why, he might 'a' found out he
42couldn't get his revenge, and be going right after that money." "It's so, Tom, it's so. I'll foller him; I will, by
43jingoes!" "Now you're talking! Don't you ever weaken, Huck, and I won't."
