Twain, Mark

"The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn"

And he wanted to know all about it right off; because it was a grand adventure, and mysterious, and so it hit him where he lived. But I said, leave it alone till by-and-by; and told his driver to wait, and we drove off a little piece, and I told him the kind of a fix I was in, and what did he reckon we better do? He said, let him alone a minute, and don't disturb him. So he thought and thought, and pretty soon he says:


? ? ? ? "It's all right, I've got it. Take my trunk in your wagon, and let on it's your'n; and you turn back and fool along slow, so as to get to the house about the time you ought to; and I'll go towards town a piece, and take a fresh start, and get there a quarter or a half an hour after you; and you needn't let on to know me, at first."


? ? ? ? I says:


? ? ? ? "All right; but wait a minute. There's one more thing- a thing that nobody don't know but me. And that is, there's a nigger here that I'm a trying to steal out of slavery- and his name is Jim- old Miss Watson's Jim."


? ? ? ? He says:


? ? ? ? "What! Why Jim is-"


? ? ? ? He stopped and went to studying.
