Nascent Drama

Here I go over to Sereny Harper, like an old softy, expecting I'm going to make her believe all that rubbage about that dream, when lo and behold you she'd found out from Joe that you was over here and heard all the talk we had that night.
 
Tom, I don't know what is to become of a boy that will act like that.
 
It makes me feel so bad to think you could let me go to Sereny Harper and make such a fool of myself and never say a word."
 
His smartness of the morning had seemed to Tom a good joke before, and very ingenious.
 
He hung his head and could not think of anything to say for a moment.
 
"Auntie, I wish I hadn't done it -- but I didn't think."
 
You never think of anything but your own selfishness.
 
You could think to come all the way over here from Jackson's Island in the night to laugh at our troubles, and you could think to fool me with a lie about a dream; but you couldn't ever think to pity us and save us from sorrow."
 
"Auntie, I know now it was mean, but I didn't mean to be mean.
 
And besides, I didn't come over here to laugh at you that night."
 
"It was to tell you not to be uneasy about us, because we hadn't got drownded."
 
"Tom, Tom, I would be the thankfullest soul in this world if I could believe you ever had as good a thought as that, but you know you never did -- and I know it, Tom."
 
"Indeed and 'deed I did, auntie -- I wish I may never stir if I didn't."
