Mark Twain (as Huck Finn) on Heaven
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was
there. She got mad then, but I didn't mean no harm. All I wanted was to
go somewheres; all I wanted was a change, I warn't particular. She said
it was wicked to say what I said, said she wouldn't say it for the
whole world; she was going to live so as to go to the good place. Well,
I couldn't see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up
my mind I wouldn't try for it. But I never said so, because it would
only make trouble, and wouldn't do no good. Now she had a good start,
and went on and told me all about the good place. She said all a body
would have to do there was to go around all day long with a harp and
sing, forever and ever. So I didn't think much of it. But I never said
so. I asked her if she reckoned Tom Sawyer would go there, and she
said, not by a considerable sight. I was glad about that, because I
wanted him and me to be together.
