The Tooth, the Tick and Becky Thatcher

1 A quiet, sleeping village at dawn, seen from Cardiff Hill.

2 Tom plays the dying martyr, forgiving everybody, as a frightened Sid grabs his clothes

3 Aunt Polly suddenly thrusts a glowing chunk of fire at Tom's face.

4 On the morning road to school, Tom comes upon Huckleberry Finn, the village outcast.

5 By the whitewashed fence, Tom eagerly asks to join Huck's midnight graveyard trip

6 Tom arrives late, hangs his hat on the peg and drops onto the back bench

7 Tom shouts to the schoolmaster that he stopped to talk with Huckleberry Finn

8 Becky shyly whispers her name to Tom at the girls' bench.

9 Tom is still beaming at Becky when the schoolmaster's big fingers close on his ear from behind.
