4 Now she had got a start, and she went on and told me all about the good place.
5 All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a change, I warn't particular.
6 She said it was a mean practice and wasn't clean, and I must try to not do it any more.
7 I asked her if she reckoned Tom Sawyer would go there, and she said not by a considerable sight.
8 Then I set down in a chair by the window and tried to think of something cheerful, but it warn't no use.
