The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

CHAPTERXXXV

10/12

A robber is more high-toned than what a pirate is--as a general thing.

In most countries they're awful high up in the nobility--dukes and such." "Now, Tom, hain't you always ben friendly to me?
You wouldn't shet me out, would you, Tom?
You wouldn't do that, now, WOULD you, Tom ?" "Huck, I wouldn't want to, and I DON'T want to--but what would people say?
Why, they'd say, 'Mph! Tom Sawyer's Gang! pretty low characters in it!' They'd mean you, Huck.

You wouldn't like that, and I wouldn't." Huck was silent for some time, engaged in a mental struggle.

Finally he said: "Well, I'll go back to the widder for a month and tackle it and see if I can come to stand it, if you'll let me b'long to the gang, Tom." "All right, Huck, it's a whiz! Come along, old chap, and I'll ask the widow to let up on you a little, Huck." "Will you, Tom--now will you?
That's good.

If she'll let up on some of the roughest things, I'll smoke private and cuss private, and crowd through or bust.
