Quotes
•   “ I took the axe and smashed in the door. I beat it and hacked it
    considerable a-doing it. I fetched the pig in, and took him back nearly
    to the table and hacked into his throat with the axe, and laid him
    down on the ground to bleed; I say ground because it was ground --
    hard packed, and no boards. Well, next I took an old sack and put a
    lot of big rocks in it -- all I could drag -- and I started it from the pig,
    and dragged it to the door and through the woods down to the river
    and dumped it in, and down it sunk, out of sight. You could easy see
    that something had been dragged over the ground. I did wish Tom
    Sawyer was there; I knowed he would take an interest in this kind of
    business, and throw in the fancy touches. Nobody could spread
    himself like Tom Sawyer in such a thing as that.....” (Twain 25)

•   “As soon as Tom was back we cut along the path, around the garden
    fence, and by and by fetched up on the steep top of the hill the other
    side of the house. Tom said he slipped Jim's hat off of his head and
    hung it on a limb right over him, and Jim stirred a little, but he didn't
    wake. Afterwards Jim said the witches bewitched him and put him in
    a trance, and rode him all over the State”

  • 17. Quotes • “ I took the axe and smashed in the door. I beat it and hacked it considerable a-doing it. I fetched the pig in, and took him back nearly to the table and hacked into his throat with the axe, and laid him down on the ground to bleed; I say ground because it was ground -- hard packed, and no boards. Well, next I took an old sack and put a lot of big rocks in it -- all I could drag -- and I started it from the pig, and dragged it to the door and through the woods down to the river and dumped it in, and down it sunk, out of sight. You could easy see that something had been dragged over the ground. I did wish Tom Sawyer was there; I knowed he would take an interest in this kind of business, and throw in the fancy touches. Nobody could spread himself like Tom Sawyer in such a thing as that.....” (Twain 25) • “As soon as Tom was back we cut along the path, around the garden fence, and by and by fetched up on the steep top of the hill the other side of the house. Tom said he slipped Jim's hat off of his head and hung it on a limb right over him, and Jim stirred a little, but he didn't wake. Afterwards Jim said the witches bewitched him and put him in a trance, and rode him all over the State”
