turn with the spoon, anyway, without knowing it, and so we’ll go and do him one without HIM knowing it — stop up his rat-holes.’ There was a noble good lot of them down cellar, and it took us a whole hour, but we done the job tight and good and shipshape. Then we heard steps on the stairs, and blowed out our light and hid; and here comes the old man, with a candle in one hand and a bundle of stuff in t’other, looking as absent-minded as year before last. He went a mooning around, first to one rat-hole and then another, till he’d been to them all. Then he stood about 429 of 496 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn five minutes, picking tallow- drip off of his candle and thinking. Then he turns off slow and dreamy towards the stairs, saying: ‘Well, for the life of me I can’t remember when I done it. I could show her now that I warn’t to blame on account of the rats. But never mind — let it go. I reckon it wouldn’t do no good.’ And so he went on a-mumbling up stairs, and then we left. He was a mighty nice old man. And always is. Tom was a good deal bothered about what to do for a spoon, but he said we’d got to have it; so he took a think. When he had ciphered it out he told me how we was to do; then we went and waited around the spoon-basket till we see Aunt Sally coming, and then Tom went to counting the spoons and laying them out to one side, and I slid one of them up my sleeve, and Tom says:
‘Why, Aunt Sally, there ain’t but nine spoons YET.’ She says: ‘Go ‘long to your play, and don’t bother me. I know better, I counted ‘m myself.’ ‘Well, I’ve counted them twice, Aunty, and I can’t make but nine.’ She looked out of all patience, but of course she come to count — anybody would. 430 of 496 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ‘I declare to gracious ther’ AIN’T but nine!’ she says. ‘Why, what in the world — plague TAKE the things, I’ll count ‘m again.’ So I slipped back the one I had, and when she got done counting, she says: ‘Hang the troublesome rubbage, ther’s TEN now!’ and she looked huffy and bothered both. But Tom says: ‘Why, Aunty, I don’t think there’s ten.’ ‘You numskull, didn’t you see me COUNT ‘m?’ ‘I know, but —‘ ‘Well, I’ll count ‘m AGAIN.’ So I smouched one, and they come out nine, same as the other time. Well, she WAS in a tearing way — just atrembling
