The young gentlemen teachers "showed off" with small scoldings and other little displays of authority and fine attention to discipline—and most of the teachers, of both sexes, found business up at the library, by the pulpit; and it was business that frequently had to be done over again two or three times (with much seeming vexation). The little girls "showed off" in various ways, and the little boys "showed off" with such

There was only one thing wanting to make Mr. Walters' 
狂喜 complete, and that was a chance to deliver a Bible–prize and exhibit a 
奇跡，奇事 . Several pupils had a few yellow tickets, but none had enough —he had been around among the star pupils inquiring. He would have given worlds, now, to have that German lad back again with a sound mind.
And now at this moment, when hope was dead, Tom 
鋸木匠；顯赫天牛 came forward with nine yellow tickets, nine red tickets, and ten blue ones, and demanded a Bible. This was a 
霹靂 out of a clear sky. Walters was not expecting an application from this source for the next ten years. But there was no getting around it—here were the 
被證明的 checks, and they were good for their face. Tom was therefore 
提高的；高尚的；嚴(yán)肅的；歡欣的 to a place with the Judge and the other elect, and the great news was announced from headquarters. It was the most

The prize was delivered to Tom with as much 
滲出 as the superintendent could pump up under the circumstances; but it lacked somewhat of the true gush, for the poor fellow's instinct taught him that there was a mystery here that could not well bear the light, perhaps; it was simply 
荒謬的 that this boy had warehoused two thousand 
捆；束；扎 of Scriptural wisdom on his premises—a dozen would strain his capacity, without a doubt.
Amy Lawrence was proud and glad, and she tried to make Tom see it in her face—but he wouldn't look. She wondered; then she was just a grain troubled; next a dim suspicion came and went—came again; she watched; a 
鬼鬼祟祟的，秘密的 glance told her worlds—and then her heart broke, and she was jealous, and angry, and the tears came and she hated everybody. Tom most of all (she thought).
