Chapter XXXIV

 

ssssssssss

We stopped talking, and got to thinking. ssssssssss

By-and-by Tom says: ssssssssss

 

"Looky here, Huck, what fools we

are, to not think of it before! I bet ssssssssss

I know where Jim is." ssssssssss

 

"No I Where?" ssssssssss

 

"In that hut down by the ash-

hopper. Why, looky here. When ssssssssss

we was "at dinner, didn't you see a ssssssssss

nigger man go in there with some ssssssssss

vittles?" ssssssssss

 

"Yes." ssssssssss

 

"What did you think the vittles

was for?" ssssssssss

 

"For a dog." ssssssssss

 

"So'd I. Well, it wasn't for a

dog."

 

"Why?" ssssssssss

 

"Because part of it was watermelon."

 

"So it was -- I noticed it. Well, it does beat all, that I never thought about

a dog not eating watermelon. It shows how a body can see and don't see at the

same time." ssssssssss

 

"Well, the nigger, unlocked the padlock when he went in, and he locked it

again when he come out. He fetched uncle a key, about the time we got up.
