Nascent Drama

"Why, Huck! En good lan'! ain' dat Misto Tom?"

I just knowed how it would be; I just expected it. I didn't know nothing to do; and if I had I couldn't a done it, because that ###### busted in and says:
 
"Why, de gracious sakes! do he know you genlmen?"
 
We could see pretty well now. Tom he looked at the ######, steady and kind of wondering, and says:
 
"I don't reckon he does; but what put that into your head?"
 
"What put it dar? Didn' he jis' dis minute sing out like he knowed you?"
 
Tom says, in a puzzled-up kind of way:
 
"Well, that's mighty curious. Who sung out? When did he sing out? What did he sing out?" And turns to me, perfectly ca'm, and says, "Did you hear anybody sing out?"
 
Of course there warn't nothing to be said but the one thing; so I says:
 
"No; I ain't heard nobody say nothing."
 
Then he turns to Jim, and looks him over like he never see him before, and says:
 
"No, sah," says Jim; "I hain't said nothing, sah."
 
So Tom turns to the ######, which was looking wild and distressed, and says, kind of severe:
 
"What do you reckon's the matter with you, anyway? What made you think somebody sung out?"
