It’s not true!” “That’s what he says, he, and he knows it. ‘You are going to perform an act of heroic virtue, and you don’t believe in virtue; that’s what tortures you and makes you angry, that’s why you are so vindictive.’ He said that to me about me and he knows what he says.”
Indeed, Sam even went to the trouble of repeating to Mr. Appleby all the evidence he had discovered against our hero. "Oh, I know he's guilty!" the vindictive farmer had said, when Sam and his crony called at the house one day, ostensibly to ask for a drink of water, but in reality to talk of Tom.

In his dread of public opinion, he rivalled some of his civilized successors.
