Checkout what he says Tom sawyer about life with widow Douglas…
“I’ve tried it and it don’t work Tom. It ain’t for me; I ain’t used to it. The widers’ been good to me and friendly; but I can’t stand them ways… I got to got o church and sweat and sweat – I got to talk to so nice it wasn’t comfortable – I’d go up to the attic and rip out awhile – every day just to get a taste in my mouth, or I’d ‘a’ died, Tom. The widder wouldn’t let me smoke; she wouldn’t let me yell, she wouldn’t let me gape, nor stretch, nor scratch before folks.. And dad fetch it, she prayed all the time! I never seen such a woman! I had to shove Tom – I just had to.”
