Every boy he encountered added another ton to his depression; and when, in desperation, he flew for refuge at last to the bosom of Huckleberry Finn and was received with a Scriptural quotation, his heart broke and he crept home and to bed realizing that he alone of all the town was lost, forever and forever.
Cada noi que topava afegia un nou pes a la seva depressió. I quan, desesperat, corregué finalment a refugiar-se en el sí de Huckleberry Finn, i hi fou rebut amb una cita de les Escriptures, es fica a casa i al llit, dant-se compte que només ell en tota la ciutat estava perdut per a sempre, per a sempre més.
