Doc Lyon's voice sounded like he was talkin' out of a cistern, and I grew sick at my stomach I was so scared. But both Mitch and me forgot the wedding for the time and turned our heads. And pretty soon we saw Doc Lyon kind of rolling a pistol over in his hand. We could see it. It glittered in the light; but Mitch and me were lyin' in the shadow there, and I don't believe he knew we were there.
And my uncle and me was getting ready because we was goin' to drive to Blue Lake that night, pitch the camp, and fish while it was quiet. So we had to grease the wagon and do a lot of things. And grandpa was to bring Mitch. Three o'clock looked like it never would come.
Mitch tried to get pa to say where it was best to dig; but pa said: "You boys go out there see what you can find, dig around too, if you want to, and tell me what you find." We got into town after a while and pa took the kettle with all the cans out of the rig and we followed him into his office and saw him put 'em into the vault and close the door and turn the knob.
But pa wouldn't take me. He says, "No, sir, you stay here and get well, and mind your grandma and help her. If you don't, I'll whale you. And I'll come for you a week from Saturday, maybe." That settled that, I was afraid. "Well, then," I said, "will you tell Mitch that I'll be back a week from Saturday?" He said he would, and I made up my mind to it.
These two boys went off somewhere and left us when we got to the square. And then I took Mitch to see something. The tables was now turned. I did most of the talkin' though Mitch was more interestin' than me, and that's why he says more than I do in this book.
She didn't act interested and happy like she used to. Mitch told me then that his pa had been let out of the church; that while we was gone to St.
But we did carry him on our hands, Mitch and me, one time from the river. And Mitch said he thought I'd been a good brother, and that Little Billie thought so too. Ma said she just couldn't live with Little Billie gone Myrtle and me didn't answer, somehow. And one day I heard her singin' at the piano she and pa had joined the town troupe to sing Pinafore.
And how do you know if he wants to get sent back?" Mitch had removed Lester's helmet, too. Tiflin knelt. His arm moved with savage quickness. There was the crack of knuckles, in a rubberized steel-fabric space glove, against Lester's jaw. His hysterical eyes glazed and closed; his face relaxed. For a second of intolerable fury, Frank wanted to tear Tiflin apart. But Mitch half-grinned.
We got down to the jail about dusk, and Mitch insisted on rollin' a barl up to the window and climbin' up on it, so as to make it as much like Tom Sawyer as possible. The window was too high for us to stand on each other's backs.
And we'd go out to your grandmother's and stay all summer and just roll in pie and cake and good things and ride horses, and fly kites. My I just can't wait!" So Mitch went on this way for quite a spell and then he switched and said: "Skeeters, what do you dream about?" "Flyin'," says I. "No!" said Mitch. "Do you really?" "As sure as you're livin'," I says.
