     "Huck, he must mean us both--we're right together."

     "Oh, Tom, I reckon we're goners. I reckon there ain't no mistake 'bout where I'll go to. I been so wicked."

     "Dad fetch it! This comes of playing hookey and doing everything a feller's told not to do. I might a been good, like Sid, if I'd a tried--but no, I wouldn't, of course. But if ever I get off this time, I lay I'll just waller in Sunday-schools!" And Tom began to snuffle a little.

 

     "You bad!" and Huckleberry began to snuffle too. "Consound it, Tom Sawyer, you're just old pie, 'long-side o' what I am. Oh, lordy, lordy, lordy, I wisht I only had half your chance."

     Tom choked off and whispered:

     "Look, Hucky, look! He's got his back to us!"

     Hucky looked, with joy in his heart.

     "Well, he has, by jingoes! Did he before?"

     "Yes, he did. But I, like a fool, never thought. Oh, this is bully, you know. Now who can he mean?"
