AI Summary
Chapter 34 — CHAPTER XXXIV. Central question How should Jim be freed? Main argument Huck wants to free Jim simply, but Tom insists on a rescue plan borrowed from adventure novels. They inspect the shed, talk to...
we wouldn’t tell nobody; and told him to
buy some more thread to tie up his wool with; and then looks at Jim,
and says:
“I wonder if Uncle Silas is going to hang this nigger. If I was to
catch a nigger that was ungrateful enough to run away, _I_ wouldn’t
give him up, I’d hang him.” And whilst the nigger stepped to the door
to look at the dime and bite it to see if it was good, he whispers to
Jim and says:
“Don’t ever let on to know us. And if you hear any digging going on
nights, it’s us; we’re going to set you free.”
Jim only had time to grab us by the hand and squeeze it; then the
nigger come back, and we said we’d come again some time if the nigger
wanted us to; and he said he would, more particular if it was dark,
because the witches went for him mostly in the dark, and it was good to
have folks around then.
