words, but they was said. And I let them stay said; and never thought no more about reforming. I shoved the whole thing out of my head, and said I would take up wickedness again, which was in my line, being brung up to it, and the other wasn’t. And for a starter I would go to work and steal Jim out of slavery again; and if I could think up anything worse, I would do that, too; because as long as I was in, and in for good, I might as well go the whole hog.
這是可怕的念頭,可怕的詞語,不過我已經這麼說了。既然話已經說出我就從沒有想過要收回。我把整件事從腦袋裡清理了出去。我說,我要重拾邪惡,邪惡是我的本行,我就是在邪惡的環境下長大的,走另一條路就不在行了。首先要做的第一件事兒,就是把傑姆救出奴隸的境地。如果我能想出什麼更為邪惡的辦法的話,我也會照乾不誤。因為既然我決定乾這一行,那麼隻要有利,我就要乾到底。
