FIRST 2 PARAGRAPHS, CHAPTER 3
Tom presented himself before Aunt Polly, who was sitting by an open window in a pleasant rearward apartment, which was bed-room, breakfast room, dining-room, and library, combined. The balmy, summer air, the restful quiet, the odor of the flowers, and the drowsing murmur of the bees had had their effect, and she was nodding over her knitting for she had no company but the cat, and it was asleep in her lap. Her spectacles were propped up on her gray head for safety. She had thought that of course Tom had deserted long ago, and she wondered at seeing him place himself in her power
'Mayn't I go and play now, aunt?'' again in this intrepid way. He said:
"What, a'ready? How much have you done? " It's all done, aunt."
"Tom, don't lie to me I can't bear it." - " I ain't, aunt; it is all done."
Aunt Polly placed small trust in such evidence. She went out to see for herself; and she would have been content to find twenty per cent of Tom's statement true. When she found the entire fence whitewashed, and not only whitewashed but elaborately coated and recoated, and even a streak added to the ground, her astonishment was almost unspeakable. She said: "Well, I never! There's no getting round it, you can work when your'e a mind to, Tom." And then she diluted the compliment by adding, " But it's powerful seldom you're a mind to, I'm bound to say. Well, go 'long and play; but mind you get back sometime in a week, or I'll tan you."
CLOSING PARAGRAPHS, CHAPTER 3
The window went up, a maid-servant's _^ discordant voice profaned the holy calm, and a deluge of water drenched the prone martyr's remains!
The strangling hero sprang up with a relieving snort. There was a whiz as of a missile in the air, mingled with the murmur of a curse, a sound as of shivering glass followed, and a small, vague form went over the fence and shot away in the gloom.
Not long after, as Tom, all undressed for bed, was surveying his drenched garments by the light of a tallow dip, Sid woke up ; but if he had any dim idea of making any " references to allusions," he thought better of it and held his peace, for there was danger in Tom's eye. Tom turned in without the added vexation of prayers, and Sid made mental note of the omission.
PRIMEROS 2 PÁRRAFOS, CAPÍTULO 3
Tom se presentó a su tía, que estaba sentada junto a la ventana, abierta de par en par, en un alegre cuartito de las traseras de la casa, el cual servía a la vez de alcoba, comedor y despacho. La tibieza del aire estival, el olor de las flores y el zumbido adormecedor de las abejas habían producido su efecto, y la anciana estaba dando cabezadas sobre la calceta..., pues no tenía otra compañía que la del gato y éste se hallaba dormido sobre su falda. Estaba tan segura de que Tom habría ya desertado de su trabajo hacía mucho rato, que se sorprendió de verle entregarse así, con tal intrepidez, en sus manos.
Él dijo: — ¿Me puedo ir a jugar, tía? —
¡Qué! ¿Tan pronto? ¿Cuánto has enjalbegado? Ya está todo, tía.
— Tom, no me mientas. No lo puedo sufrir. — No miento, tía; ya está todo hecho.
La tía Polly confiaba poco en tal testimonio. Salió a ver por sí misma, y se hubiera dado por satisfecha con haber encontrado un veinticinco por ciento de verdad en lo afirmado por Tom. Cuando vio toda la cerca encalada, y no sólo encalada sino primorosamente reposado con varias manos de lechada, y hasta con una franja de añadidura en el suelo, su asombro no podía expresarse en palabras. — ¡Alabado sea Dios! —dijo—. ¡Nunca lo creyera! No se puede negar: sabes trabajar cuando te da por ahí. Y después añadió, aguando el elogio — Pero te da por ahí rara vez, la verdad sea dicha. Bueno, anda a jugar; pero acuérdáte y no tardes una semana en volver, porque te voy a dar una zurra.
PÁRRAFOS FINALES, CAPÌTULO 3
La ventana se abrió; la voz áspera de una criada profanó el augusto silencio, y un diluvio de agua dejó empapados los restos del mártir tendido en tierra.
El héroe, medio ahogado, se irguió de un salto, resoplando; se oyó el zumbido de una piedra en el aire, entremezclado con el murmullo de una imprecación; después, como un estrépito de cristales rotos; y una diminuta forma fugitiva saltó por encima de la valla y se alejó, disparada, en las tinieblas.
Poco después, cuando Tom, desnudo para acostarse examinaba sus ropas remojadas, a la luz de un cabo de vela, Sid se despertó; pero si es que tuvo alguna idea de hacer «alusiones personales», lo pensó mejor y se estuvo quedo..., pues en los ojos de Tom había un brillo amenazador. Tom se metió en la cama sin añadir a sus enojos el de rezar, y Sid apuntó en su memoria esta omisión.
