aloft在高处
In a few hours,Tom and Huckleberry were standing in front of a hole by the river.
It was the hole that Tom had climbed out of a safety a few weeks ago.“Here we are!"said Tom.“Look at it,Huck. Isn't it the snuggest hole in this country?I've always wanted to be
a robber.This will be our secret cave. We'll only let Joe Harper and Ben Rogers know. There's got to be a Gang,or else there wouldn't be any style in being a robber.Tom Sawyer's Gang..it sounds marvelous,doesn't it, Huck?"
The boys entered the hole,with Tom in the lead.They crawled to the farther end of the tunnel,then tied their kite lines to some rocks and moved on.A few steps brought them to the spring.Then Tom led Huck to the corner where he had seen Injun Joe.
“Now look,Huck,”said Tom,holding his candle aloft. “Look as far around the corner as you can.Can you see it?There,on the big
rock over there."
“Tom,it s marked with the No.2!"“That's right!I caught a glimpse of it when I bumped into Injun Joe here.”
