Aunt Polly is pleasantly surprised to find the work done, and she allows Tom to go out

in the late afternoon. On his way, he pelts Sid with clods of dirt in revenge for his

treachery in the matter of the shirt collar. He then hastens to the town square,

where a group of boys are fighting a mock battle. Tom and his friend Joe Harper act

as generals. Tom’s army wins the battle.

On his way home for dinner, Tom passes the Thatcher house and catches sight of a

beautiful girl. He falls head over heels in love with her. Quickly forgetting his last

love, a girl named Amy Lawrence, Tom spends the rest of the afternoon “showing off”

on the street. The girl tosses him a flower, and, after some more showing off, Tom

reluctantly returns home.

At dinner, Sid breaks the sugar bowl, and Tom is blamed. Tom’s mood changes, and he

wanders out after dinner feeling mistreated and melodramatic, imagining how sorry

Aunt Polly would be if he turned up dead. Eventually, he finds his way back to the

beautiful girl’s house and prepares to die pitifully beneath her window. Just then, a

maid opens the window and dumps a pitcher of water on his head. Tom scurries home

and goes to bed as Sid watches in silence.
