Presently she stepped into the kitchen, and Sid, happy in his immunity, reached for the sugar–bowl—a sort of glorying over Tom which was wellnigh unbearable. But Sid's fingers slipped and the bowl dropped and broke. Tom was in ecstasies. In such ecstasies that he even controlled his tongue and was silent. He said to himself that he would not speak a word, even when his aunt came in, but would sit perfectly still till she asked who did the mischief+ 恶作剧; and then he would tell, and there would be nothing so good in the world as to see that pet model "catch it." He was so brimful+ 盈满的，充满的 of exultation+ 狂喜 that he could hardly hold himself when the old lady came back and stood above the wreck discharging lightnings of wrath+ 愤怒 from over her spectacles.

"Hold on, now, what 'er you belting ME for?—Sid broke it!"
Aunt Polly paused, perplexed, and Tom looked for healing pity. But when she got her tongue again, she only said:
"Umf! Well, you didn't get a lick amiss, I reckon. You been into some other audacious+ 无畏的 mischief when I wasn't around, like enough."
Then her conscience reproached her, and she yearned to say something kind and loving; but she judged that this would be construed+ 翻译 into a confession+ 忏悔，告解 that she had been in the wrong, and discipline forbade that. So she kept silence, and went about her affairs with a troubled heart. Tom sulked in a corner and exalted+ 高尚的；尊贵的；兴奋的 his woes. He knew that in her heart his aunt was on her knees to him, and he was morosely+ 愁眉苦脸地 gratified+ 称心的，令人满意的 by the consciousness of it. He would hang out no signals, he would take notice of none. He knew that a yearning+ 渴望；充满同情 glance fell upon him, now and then, through a film of tears, but he refused recognition of it. He pictured himself lying sick unto+ 到，向；直到，到……为止 death and his aunt bending over him beseeching+ 恳求似的 one little forgiving word, but he would turn his face to the wall, and die with that word unsaid+ 未说出口的；未用语言表达出来的. Ah, how would she feel then? And he pictured himself brought home from the river, dead, with his curls all wet, and his sore heart at rest. How she would throw herself upon him, and how her tears would fall like rain, and her lips pray God to give her back her boy and she would never, never abuse him any more! But he would lie there cold and white and make no sign—a poor little sufferer, whose griefs were at an end. He so worked upon his feelings with the pathos+ 感染 of these dreams, that he had to keep swallowing, he was so like to choke; and his eyes swam in a blur of water, which overflowed+ 溢出的 when he winked, and ran down and trickled from the end of his nose. And such a luxury to him was this petting of his sorrows, that he could not bear to have any worldly+ 世俗的；世间的；尘世的 cheeriness or any grating+ 栅栏，格子 delight intrude+ 把…强加；把…硬挤 upon it; it was too sacred for such contact; and so, presently, when his cousin Mary danced in, all alive with the joy of seeing home again after an age–long visit of one week to the country, he got up and moved in clouds and darkness out at one door as she brought song and sunshine in at the other.
