Tom Sawyer Abroad / Tom Sawyer, Detective
This chapter is in the book Tom Sawyer Abroad / Tom Sawyer, Detective
10m Sawyer Abroad By HUCK FINN. EDITED BY MARK TwAIN. CHAPTER 1 Do YOU RECKON Tom Sawyer was satisfied after all them adven-tures? I mea n the advenrures we had down the river the time we set the nigger fim free and Tom got shot in the leg. No, he wasn't. It only just pisoned him for mote. That was all the effects it had. You see, when we three come back up the river in glory, as you may say, from that long travel, and the village received us with a torchlight proces-sion and speeches, and everybody hurrah'd and shouted, and some gOt drunk, it made us heroes, and that was what Tom Sawyer had always been bankedn' to be. For a while he was satisfied. Everybody made much of him, and he tilted up his nose and stepped around the town like he owned it. Some called him Tom Sawyer the Traveler, and that just swelled him up fit to bust. You see he laid over me and Jim considerable, because we only went down the river on a raft and come back by the steam-boat, but Tom went by the steamboat both ways. The boys envied me and Jim a good deal, but land! they just knuckled to the dirt before Tom. Well, I don't know; maybe he might have been sa ti sfied if it hadn't been for old Nat Parso ns, which was Postmaster, and powerful long and sli m, and kind of good-hearted and silly and baldheaded, on accounts of his age, and most about the talkiest old animal I ever see.
