1 Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me.
2 I was glad about that, because I wanted him and me to be together.
3 Miss Watson she kept pecking at me, and it got tiresome and lonesome.
4 Now she had got a start, and she went on and told me all about the good place.
5 She worked me middling hard for about an hour, and then the widow made her ease up.
6 She put me in them new clothes again, and I couldn't do nothing but sweat and sweat, and feel all cramped up.
7 Then I slipped down to the ground and crawled in among the trees, and, sure enough, there was Tom Sawyer waiting for me.
8 YOU don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter.
9 Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich.
10 The widow she cried over me, and called me a poor lost lamb, and she called me a lot of other names, too, but she never meant no harm by it.
11 Her sister, Miss Watson, a tolerable slim old maid, with goggles on, had just come to live with her, and took a set at me now with a spelling-book.
12 But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable.
13 I didn't need anybody to tell me that that was an awful bad sign and would fetch me some bad luck, so I was scared and most shook the clothes off of me.
14 Here she was a-bothering about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone, you see, yet finding a power of fault with me for doing a thing that had some good in it.
15 The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer I lit out.
16 After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers, and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him, because I don't take no stock in dead people.
17 The stars were shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful; and I heard an owl, away off, who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and a whippowill and a dog crying about somebody that was going to die; and the wind was trying to whisper something to me, and I couldn't make out what it was, and so it made the cold shivers run over me.
