1In the morning we went up to the village and bought a wire rat-trap and fetched it down, and unstopped the best
2rat-hole, and in about an hour we had fifteen of the bulliest kind of ones; and then we took it and put it in a safe
3place under Aunt Sally's bed. But while we was gone for spiders little Thomas Franklin Benjamin Jefferson Elexander
4Phelps found it there, and opened the door of it to see if the rats would come out, and they did; and Aunt Sally she
5come in, and when we got back she was a-standing on top of the bed raising Cain, and the rats was doing what they could
6to keep off the dull times for her. So she took and dusted us both with the hickry, and we was as much as two hours
7catching another fifteen or sixteen, drat that meddlesome cub, and they warn't the likeliest, nuther, because the first
8haul was the pick of the flock. I never see a likelier lot of rats than what that first haul was. We got a splendid
9stock of sorted spiders, and bugs, and frogs, and caterpillars, and one thing or another; and we like to got a hornet's
10nest, but we didn't. The family was at home. We didn't give it right up, but stayed with them as long as we could;
11because we allowed we'd tire them out or they'd got to tire us out, and they done it. Then we got allycumpain and rubbed
12on the places, and was pretty near all right again, but couldn't set down convenient. And so we went for the snakes, and
13grabbed a couple of dozen garters and house-snakes, and put them in a bag, and put it in our room, and by that time it
14was supper-time, and a rattling good honest day's work: and hungry?--oh, no, I reckon not! And there warn't a blessed
15snake up there when we went back--we didn't half tie the sack, and they worked out somehow, and left. But it didn't
16matter much, because they was still on the premises somewheres. So we judged we could get some of them again. No, there
17warn't no real scarcity of snakes about the house for a considerable spell. You'd see them dripping from the rafters and
18places every now and then; and they generly landed in your plate, or down the back of your neck, and most of the time
19where you didn't want them. Well, they was handsome and striped, and there warn't no harm in a million of them; but that
20never made no difference to Aunt Sally; she despised snakes, be the breed what they might, and she couldn't stand them
21no way you could fix it; and every time one of them flopped down on her, it didn't make no difference what she was
22doing, she would just lay that work down and light out. I never see such a woman. And you could hear her whoop to
23Jericho. You couldn't get her to take a-holt of one of them with the tongs. And if she turned over and found one in bed
24she would scramble out and lift a howl that you would think the house was afire. She disturbed the old man so that he
25said he could most wish there hadn't ever been no snakes created. Why, after every last snake had been gone clear out of
26the house for as much as a week Aunt Sally warn't over it yet; she warn't near over it; when she was setting thinking
27about something you could touch her on the back of her neck with a feather and she would jump right out of her
28stockings. It was very curious. But Tom said all women was just so. He said they was made that way for some reason or
29other. We got a licking every time one of our snakes come in her way, and she allowed these lickings warn't nothing to
30what she would do if we ever loaded up the place again with them. I didn't mind the lickings, because they didn't amount
31to nothing; but I minded the trouble we had to lay in another lot. But we got them laid in, and all the other things;
32and you never see a cabin as blithesome as Jim's was when they'd all swarm out for music and go for him. Jim didn't like
33the spiders, and the spiders didn't like Jim; and so they'd lay for him, and make it mighty warm for him. And he said
34that between the rats and the snakes and the grindstone there warn't no room in bed for him, skasely; and when there
35was, a body couldn't sleep, it was so lively, and it was always lively, he said, because they never all slept at one
36time, but took turn about, so when the snakes was asleep the rats was on deck, and when the rats turned in the snakes
37come on watch, so he always had one gang under him, in his way, and t'other gang having a circus over him, and if he got
38up to hunt a new place the spiders would take a chance at him as he crossed over. He said if he ever got out this time
39he wouldn't ever be a prisoner again, not for a salary. Well, by the end of three weeks everything was in pretty good
40shape. The shirt was sent in early, in a pie, and every time a rat bit Jim he would get up and write a little in his
41journal whilst the ink was fresh; the pens was made, the inscriptions and so on was all carved on the grindstone; the
42bed-leg was sawed in two, and we had et up the sawdust, and it give us a most amazing stomach-ache. We reckoned we was
43all going to die, but didn't. It was the most undigestible sawdust I ever see; and Tom said the same. But as I was
44saying, we'd got all the work done now, at last; and we was all pretty much fagged out, too, but mainly Jim. The old man
45had wrote a couple of times to the plantation below Orleans to come and get their runaway nigger, but hadn't got no
46answer, because there warn't no such plantation; so he allowed he would advertise Jim in the St. Louis and New Orleans
47papers; and when he mentioned the St. Louis ones it give me the cold shivers, and I see we hadn't no time to lose. So
48Tom said, now for the nonnamous letters. "What's them?" I says. "Warnings to the people that something is up. Sometimes
49it's done one way, sometimes another. But there's always somebody spying around that gives notice to the governor of the
50castle. When Louis XVI. was going to light out of the Tooleries, a servant-girl done it. It's a very good way, and so is
51the nonnamous letters. We'll use them both. And it's usual for the prisoner's mother to change clothes with him, and she
52stays in, and he slides out in her clothes. We'll do that, too." "But looky here, Tom, what do we want to warn anybody
53for that something's up? Let them find it out for themselves--it's their lookout." "Yes, I know; but you can't depend on
54them. It's the way they've acted from the very start--left us to do everything. They're so confiding and mullet-headed
55they don't take notice of nothing at all. So if we don't give them notice there won't be nobody nor nothing to interfere
56with us, and so after all our hard work and trouble this escape 'll go off perfectly flat; won't amount to
57nothing--won't be nothing to it." "Well, as for me, Tom, that's the way I'd like." "Shucks!" he says, and looked
58disgusted. So I says: "But I ain't going to make no complaint. Any way that suits you suits me. What you going to do
59about the servant-girl?" "You'll be her. You slide in, in the middle of the night, and hook that yaller girl's frock."
60"Why, Tom, that'll make trouble next morning; because, of course, she prob'bly hain't got any but that one." "I know;
61but you don't want it but fifteen minutes, to carry the nonnamous letter and shove it under the front door." "All right,
62then, I'll do it; but I could carry it just as handy in my own togs." "You wouldn't look like a servant-girl then, would
63you?" "No, but there won't be nobody to see what I look like, anyway." "That ain't got nothing to do with it. The thing
64for us to do is just to do our duty, and not worry about whether anybody sees us do it or not. Hain't you got no
65principle at all?" "All right, I ain't saying nothing; I'm the servant-girl. Who's Jim's mother?"
