"Please don't ever tell I told you," were Huck's first words when he got in. "Please don't -l'd be killed, sure-but the widow's been good friends to me sometimes, and I want to tell-I WILL tell if you'll promise you won't ever say it was me."
"By George, he HAS got something to tell, or he wouldn't act so!" exclaimed the old man;"out with it and nobody here'll ever tell, lad." Three minutes later the old man and his sons, well armed, were up the hill, and just entering the sumach path on tiptoe, their weapons in their hands. Huck accompanied them no further. He hid behind a great bowlder and fell to listening. There was a lagging(保温层), anxious silence, and then all of a sudden there was an explosion of firearms and a cry.
Huck waited for no particulars(异常的动静). He sprang away and sped down the hill as fast as his legs could carry him.
