As this chapter begins, Tom and Huck are running away from the graveyard. They run to the Old Tannery and wake up watch dogs along the way. The two boys arrive and talk about how they cannot say anything or else. So they keep mum about the oath not to tell anyone or anything. They write out the promise in their own blood stating "Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer swear they will keep mum about this and they wish they may drop down dead in their own tracks if they ever tell". In the morning they find out that Dr. Robinson is dead. At school he is melancholy about everything and does not move roaming around with a blank face until his elbow hits something. He looks down to see a rolled up paper. He unrolls it to find his brass knob ending the chapter.
