i6o TOM SA W YER. The hard lines in his aunt's face relaxed and a sudden tenderness dawned in her eyes. '^JDid yon kiss me, Tom?" "Why yes I did." "Are you sure you did, Tom.?" " Why yes I did, auntie—certain sure." "What did you kiss me for, Tom }" " Because I loved you so, and you laid there moaning and I was so sorry." The words sounded like truth. The old lady could not hide a tremor in her voice when she said : " Kiss me again, Tom !—and be off with you to school, now, and don't bother me any more." The moment he was gone, she ran to a closet and got out the ruin of a jacket which Tom had gone pirating in. Then she stopped, with it in her hand, and said to herself: " No, I don't dare. Poor boy, I reckon he's lied about it—but it's a blessed, blessed lie, there's such comfort come from it. I hope the Lord— I krw7v the Lord will forgive him, because it was such goodheartedness in him to tell it. But I don't want to find out it's a lie. I won't look." She put the jacket away, and stood by*^ musing a minute. Twice she put out her hand to take the garment again, and twice loM jtsuFiED. gj-jg refrained. Once more she ventured,, and this time she fortified herself with the thought: "It's a good lie— it's a good lie—I won't let it grieve me." So she sought the jacket pocket. A moment later she was reading Tom's piece of bark through flowing tears and saying : " I could forgive the boy,jiow, if he'd committed a million sins ! "
J was something about Aunt Polly'* manner, when she kissed Tom, that swept away his low spirits and made ^1 him light-hearted and happy again. He started to school and had tlie luck ol coming upon Becky Thatcher at tho '^''l head of Meadow Lane. His mood aU ways determmea nis manner. \Vithout a moment's hesitation he ran to her and _ ' '^ t/^ said : " I acted mighty mean to-day, Becky, and I'm so sorry. I won't ever, ever do that way again, as long as ever 1 live— ^\ please make up, won't you.' " The girl stopped and looked him scorn- fully m the face : "I'll thank you to keep yourself to yourself, Mr. Thomas Sawyer. I'll neva speak to you again." II i6i
