THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER 012 – CHAPTER XII – 001

One of the reasons why Tom’s mind had drifted away from its secret troubles was, that it had found a new and weighty matter to interest itself about.
Becky Thatcher had stopped coming to school.
Tom had struggled with his pride a few days, and tried to “whistle her down the wind,” but failed.
He began to find himself hanging around her father’s house, nights, and feeling very miserable.
She was ill.
What if she should die! There was distraction in the thought.
He no longer took an interest in war, nor even in piracy.
The charm of life was gone; there was nothing but dreariness left.
He put his hoop away, and his bat; there was no joy in them any more
