some thought it would be good to kill the families of boys that told the secrets. tom said it was a good idea, so he took a pencil and wrote it in. then ben rogers says:

"here's huck finn, he hain't got no family; what you going to do 'bout him? "

"well, hain't he got a father? " says tom sawyer.

"yes, he's got a father, but you can't never find him these days. he used to lay drunk with the hogs in the tanyard, but he hain't been seen in these parts for a year or more."

they talked it over, and they was going to rule me out, because they said every boy must have a family or somebody to kill, or else it wouldn't be fair and square for the others. well, nobody could think of anything to do—everybody was stumped, and set still.
(mark twain, huckleberry finn)

helmer: many a man has been able to retrieve his character, if he has openly confessed his fault and taken his punishment.

nora: punishment—?

helmer: but krogstad did nothing of that sort; he got himself out of it by a cunning trick, and that is why he has gone under altogether.

nora: but do you think it would—?

helmer: just think how a guilty man like that has to lie and play the hypocrite with every one, how he has to wear a mask in the presence of those near and dear to him, even before his own wife and children. and about the children—that is the most terrible part of it all, nora.

helmer: nora—!

nora: you mean that i would never have accepted such a sacrifice on your part? no, of course not. but what would my assurances have been worth against yours? that was the wonderful thing which i hoped for and feared; and it was to prevent that, that i wanted to kill myself.

helmer: i would gladly work night and day for you, nora—bear sorrow and want for your sake. but no man would sacrifice his honour for the one he loves.

nora: it is a thing hundreds of thousands of women have done.

helmer: oh, you think and talk like a heedless child.
(henrik ibsen, a doll's house)

then away out in the woods i heard that kind of a sound that a ghost makes when it wants to tell about something that's on its mind and can't make itself understood, and so can't rest easy in its grave, and has to go about that way every night grieving. i got so down-hearted and scared i did wish i had some company. pretty soon a spider went crawling up my shoulder, and i flipped it off and it lit in the candle; and before i could budge it was all shriveled up. i didn't need anybody to tell me that that was an awful bad sign and would fetch me some bad luck, so i was scared and most shook the clothes off of me. i got up and turned around in my tracks three times and crossed my breast every time; and then i tied up a little lock of my hair with a thread to keep witches away. but i hadn't no confidence. you do that when you've lost a horseshoe that you've found, instead of nailing it up over the door, but i hadn't ever heard anybody say it was any way to keep off bad luck when you'd killed a spider.
(mark twain, huckleberry finn)
