2 She resurrected nothing but the cat.
3 He was not the Model Boy of the village.
4 Can't learn an old dog new tricks, as the saying is.
5 But in spite of her, Tom knew where the wind lay, now.
6 Spare the rod and spile the child, as the Good Book says.
7 I ain't doing my duty by that boy, and that's the Lord's truth, goodness knows.
8 The lad fled on the instant, scrambled up the high board-fence, and disappeared over it.
9 A new-comer of any age or either sex was an im-pressive curiosity in the poor little shabby village of St. Petersburg.
10 Well-a-well, man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble, as the Scripture says, and I reckon it's so.
11 The old lady pulled her spectacles down and looked over them about the room; then she put them up and looked out under them.
12 She went to the open door and stood in it and looked out among the tomato vines and "jimpson" weeds that constituted the garden.

19 To which Tom responded with jeers, and started off in high feather, and as soon as his back was turned the new boy snatched up a stone, threw it and hit him between the shoulders and then turned tail and ran like an antelope.
20 In an instant both boys were rolling and tumbling in the dirt, gripped together like cats; and for the space of a minute they tugged and tore at each other's hair and clothes, punched and scratched each other's nose, and covered themselves with dust and glory.
