Tom Sawyer
1
"Tom Sawyer, who is
not the model boy
of the village."
2
"My! Look behind you,
Aunt!"
3
"Hang the boy! Can't
I never learn anything?"
4
"'Spare the rod and spile
the child!' I ain't doin'
my duty by that boy.
I'm a-layin' up sin and
sufferin' for us both!"
5
Alfred Temple, who is the
model boy of the village
...... Carl Goetz
6
The juvenile pariah of the
village, with whom Tom
is under strict orders not
to play
Huckleberry Finn .. Robert Gordon
7
"Say, I can lick you!"
8
"I'd like to see you
try it!"
9
"You think you're some
now, don't you? ... Oh,
what a hat!"
10
"Say, if you give me any
more of your sass, I'll
take and bounce a
rock off'n your head!"
11
"I dare you to step over
that. Anybody that'll
take a dare will steal
sheep!"
12
"Holler 'nuff!"
13
"Holler 'nuff!"
14
"'Nuff!"
15
The enemy's mother
16
"You're a bad, vicious
child! Go away at
once!"
17
The next day is Saturday,
and there is a song in
every heart but Tom's
18
"I dasn't, Marse Tom.
Ole missis, she'd t'ar
de head off'n me.
'Deed she would!"
19
"If you will - I'll show
you my sore toe!"
20
Jim is only human; this
attraction is too much!
21
And - the free boys
are going fishing -
22
- while Joe Harper pretends
he is a Mississippi river
steamboat
.......Antrim Short
23
At this dark and
hopeless moment,
Tom has a great
and magnificent
inspiration!
24
"Hi-yi! You got to work,
ain't you?"
25
"Do you mean to let
on you like it?"
26
"Like it? I ought to like
it! Does a boy get a
chance to whitewash
a fence every day?"
27
"Say, Tom, let me
whitewash a little?"
28
"Aunt Polly's awful par-
ticular about this fence.
There ain't one boy in
a thousand - maybe a
hun'red thousand - can
do it the way it's got
to be done!"
29
"Lemme try! Say - I'll
give you the core of
my apple!"
30
"I'll give you all of it!"
31
- and Tom has discovered a
great law of human nature;
namely, in order to make a
man or a boy covet a thing,
it is only necessary to make
it difficult to attain!
32
"The fence is all done,
aunt."
33
"Don't lie to me, Tom.
I can't bear to hear it!"
34
"Tom, what you earn
by honest effort and
without sin has the
best flavor."
35
A new girl in town
Becky Thatcher ... Clara Horton
36
Sunday dawns upon
the peaceful village
37
But this day, too
brings its trials
38
When Mary is finished with
Tom, he is a man and a
brother - and fully as
uncomfortable as he looks!
39
Inspired by Becky's
presence, Tom finds
a use for his ill-gotten
wealth
40
The Widow Douglas, a
lady of wealth and
distinction, in whose
class Tom is a disturbing
element
Widow Douglas . Helen Gilmore
41
The children begin
to show off
42
The superintendent is
also showing off
43
"Has any little boy or
girl won a Bible prize
this week?"
44
It's Tom's turn now
to show off
45
Is it possible that the
learned Judge is showing
off, too?
46
"No doubt, you know
the names of the twelve
disciples. Tell us the
names of the first two
who were appointed."
47
"Answer the gentleman,
Thomas."
48
"David and Goliath!"
49
Let us draw the curtain
of charity over the rest
of this scene!
50
"My - sore - toe's -
mortified!"
51
"It seemed mortified. It
hurt so I didn't mind
my tooth at all!"
52
"Thomas Sawyer, why
are you late?"
53
And the schoolmaster
punishes bad boys by
making them sit with
the girls!
54
"I stopped - to - talk with
Huckleberry Finn!"
55
"Now, sir, you may go
and sit with the girls!"
56
"I know your name.
It's Thomas Sawyer."
57
"That's the name they
lick me by. I'm Tom,
when I'm good. You
call me Tom, will you?"
58
At noon, every one goes
home to dinner - except
Tom and Becky
59
"Say, Becky, how'd you
like to be engaged?"
60
"I don't know. What's
it like?"
61
"'Tain't like anything!
You only - tell a boy
you'll marry him; then
you kiss, an' that's all.
Anybody can do it!"
62
"Do you remember what
I wrote on the slate?"
63
"I - love - you!"
64
"Being engaged's ever so
gay! Why, when me
and Amy Lawrence -"
65
His most cherished
possession - a brass
door-knob
66
Supper-time the same day
67
"Now, that pet model, Sid,
is going to catch it!"
68
"Hold on! Whatcher
belting me for? Sid
broke it!"
69
"Well! I guess you
didn't get a lick
amiss!"
70
Far into the night, Tom
broods over "man's
inhumanity to man"!
71
If he should die, would
SHE be sorry, or would
she turn coldly away like
all the hollow world?
72
And thus she should see
him when she looked out
upon the glad morning!
73
The next morning, Tom's
mind is made up. He
will lead a life of crime!
They have driven him
to it!
74
"Two souls with but a
single thought -"
75
"We're goin' to be
pirates, on a desert
island, and start
tonight!"
76
"Sure, we gotta have
names! I'll be Tom
Sawyer, The Black
Avenger of the
Spanish Main!"
77
"You'll be Huck Finn,
The Red-Handed!"
78
"Your name is Joe
Harper, The Terror
of the Seas!"
79
That night - the great
adventure!
80
"Hist! The countersign!"
81
"B-l-o-o-d!"
82
About 2 A. M.
83
"Who cares? It's bully to
be a pirate! You don't
have to go to school
and wash, and all that
blamed foolishness!"
84
The alarm
85
"Oh, Mis' Sawyer, my
Joe wasn't home last
night, and I'm that
scairt!"
86
"Me an' my pardner
saw the boys startin'
down the river."
87
Catfish for breakfast - fresh
from the Mississippi
88
"Why, it's just as easy!
If I'd know'd this was
all, I'd have learned
long ago!"
89
"The boys must be
drowned! We found
the raft drifting five
miles down the
river!"
90
"Say, I wish the fellows
could see us now!"
91
"I - I lost my knife. I'm
going to find it!"
92
"I'll help you!"
93
Something seems to tell
Huck that if they have
had any trouble they
have got rid of it!
94
Tom finds home almost
as moist as the Mississippi
95
"As I was sayin', he
warn't bad, so to say
- only mischeevous!"
96
"The Lord gave and the
Lord has taken away,
but it's so hard! Only
last Saturday my Joe
busted a fire-cracker
under my nose and I
knocked him sprawling!"
97
"If the bodies ain't
found, the funerals
will be preached
Sunday morning!"
98
With the rising sun -
99
"What does this writin'
say, Joe?"
100
"- and when they get to
preaching about us -"
101
Then came the day
of the funerals
102
"Sing!"
103
"Please, Tom, won't you
give me the brass door-
knob?"
