Twain, Mark

"The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer"

A feller don't have only one chance for such a pile- and that one's lost. I'd feel mighty shaky if I was to see him, anyway."


? ? ? ? "Well, so'd I; but I'd like to see him, anyway- and track him out- to his Number Two."


? ? ? ? "Number Two- yes, that's it. I ben thinking 'bout that. But I can't make nothing out of it. What do you reckon it is?"


? ? ? ? "I dono. It's too deep. Say, Huck- maybe it's the number of a house!"


? ? ? ? "Goody!...... No, Tom, that ain't it. If it is, it ain't in this onehorse town. They ain't no numbers here."


? ? ? ? "Well, that's so. Lemme think a minute. Here- it's the number of a room- in a tavern, you know!"


? ? ? ? "O, that's the trick! They ain't only two taverns. We can find out quick."


? ? ? ? "You stay here, Huck, till I come."


? ? ? ? Tom was off at once. He did not care to have Huck's company in public places. He was gone half an hour. He found that in the best tavern, No. 2 had long been occupied by a young lawyer, and was still so occupied.
