called his attention to the
discount ugg
boots precious blessing of his late measles as a
warning.
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
discount ugg boots lost,
forever and forever.
And that night there came on a terrific storm,
with driving rain,
awful claps of thunder and blinding sheets of
lightning. He covered his
head with the bedclothes and waited in a
horror of suspense for his
doom; for he had not the shadow of a doubt
that all this hubbub was
cheap uggs
online about him. He believed he had taxed the forbearance
of the powers above
to the extremity of endurance and that this was the
result. It might
have seemed to him a waste of pomp and ammunition to
kill a bug with a
battery of artillery, but there seemed nothing
incongruous about the
getting up such an

for women expensive thunderstorm as this to knock the turf
from under an insect like himself.
By and by the tempest spent itself
and died without accomplishing its
object. The boy's first impulse was
to be grateful, and reform. His
second was to wait--for there might not
be any more storms.
The next day the doctors were back;
discount uggs for
women Tom had relapsed. The three weeks
he spent on his
back this time seemed an entire age. When he got abroad
at last he was
hardly grateful that he had been spared, remembering how
lonely was his
estate, how companionless and forlorn he was. He drifted
listlessly
down the street and found Jim Hollis acting as
discount ugg
boots judge in a
juvenile court that was trying a cat for
murder, in the presence of her
victim, a bird. He found Joe Harper and
Huck Finn up an alley eating a
stolen melon. Poor lads! they--like
Tom--had suffered a relapse.
