Once everybody had gone to bed, I snuck out for a spell. The stars were shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods. I heard an owl who-whooing in a tree. It gave me cold shivers. Then way out in the woods I heard the kind of sound that a ghost makes when it can't rest easy in the grave. That's when I got plumb scared. I was wishing I had someone to keep me company.

Appreciating the characters
“A somewhat messy, slightly dirty young boy in castoff (废弃物), ill-fitting clothing and bare(光的) feet. His face, much dirtier, is also bright, but the expression is inquisitive(好奇的) and confident rather than smug, with a touch of wonder mixed with slyness(狡猾). He may be carrying a fishing pole, but he is probably not doing anything in particular.”
------Keith Neilson, Preface(前言) of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

“The widow cried when she saw me. "Oh, Huck, I was so worried. You are my poor lost lamb." Then she called me a few bad names, but I know she didn't mean no harm. She put the fancy clothes back on me, and I felt all cramped up again.
Soon she rang the bell for supper. I knew I couldn't dillydally(磨蹭). When she rang that bell, she expected me to come down on time. And when I got to the table, I had to wait until the widow grumbled a prayer.

And she made me wear new clothes. They were itchy and tight, and I could barely breathe in them. I didn't think I could stand much more of her trying to make a gentleman of me.
Since I liked my old way of life, I snuck in my room, put on my old raggedy clothes, and ran away.
