We cleared everything out of the way about four or five foot along the middle of the bottom log. Tom said we was right behind Jim s bed now and we d dig in under it and when we got through there couldn t nobody in the cabin ever know there was any hole there because Jim s counterpin hung down most to the ground and you d have to raise it up and look under to see the hole. So we dug and dug with the caseknives till most midnight and then we was dog-tired and our hands was blistered and yet you couldn t see we d done anything hardly. At last I says This ain t no thirty-seven year job this is a thirty-eight year job Tom Sawyer. He never said nothing. But he sighed and pretty soon he stopped digging and then for a good little while I knowed that he was thinking. Then he says It ain t no use Huck it ain t a-going to work. If we was prisoners it would because then we d have as many years as we wanted and no hurry and we wouldn t get but a few minutes to dig every day while they was changing watches and so our hands wouldn t get blistered and we could keep it up right along year in and year out and do it right and the way it ought to be done. But WE can t fool along we got to rush we ain t got no time to spare. If we was to put in another night this way we d have to knock off for a week to let our hands get well -- couldn t touch a case-knife with them sooner. Well then what we going to do Tom I ll tell you. It ain t right and it ain t moral . and I wouldn t like it to get out but there ain t only just the one way we got to dig him out with the picks and LET ON it s case-knives. NOW you re TALKING I says your head gets leveler and leveler all the time Tom Sawyer I says. Picks is the thing moral or no moral and as for me I don t care shucks for the morality
