THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER 012 – CHAPTER XII – 005
Tom felt that it was time to wake up; this sort of life might be romantic enough, in his blighted condition, but it was getting to have too little sentiment and too much distracting variety about it.So he thought over various plans for relief, and finally hit upon that of professing to be fond of Pain-killer.He asked for it so often that he became a nuisance, and his aunt ended by telling him to help himself and quit bothering her.If it had been Sid, she would have had no misgivings to alloy her delight; but since it was Tom, she watched the bottle clandestinely.She found that the medicine did really diminish, but it did not occur to her that the boy was mending the health of a crack in the sitting-room floor with it.One day Tom was in the act of dosing the crack when his aunt’s yellow cat came along, purring, eyeing the teaspoon avariciously, and begging for a taste.Tom said:“Don’t ask for it unless you want it, Peter.”But Peter signified that he did want it.“You better make sure.”Peter was sure.“Now you’ve asked for it, and I’ll give it to you, because there ain’t anything mean about me; but if you find you don’t like it, you mustn’t blame anybody but your own self.”Peter was agreeable
