Now Tom began to scrawl something on the slate, hiding the words from the girl. But she was not backward this time. She begged to see. Tom said: 
"Oh, it ain't anything." 
"Yes it is." 
"No it ain't. You don't want to see." 
"Yes I do, indeed I do. Please let me." 
"You'll tell." 
"No I won't—deed and deed and double deed won't." 
"You won't tell anybody at all? Ever, as long as you live?" 
"No, I won't ever tell anybody. Now let me." 
"Oh, you don't want to see!" 
"Now that you treat me so, I will see." And she put her small hand upon his and a little scuffle ensued, Tom pretending to resist in earnest but letting his hand slip by degrees till these words were revealed: "I love you." 
"Oh, you bad thing!" And she hit his hand a smart rap, but reddened and looked pleased, nevertheless. 

haha, puppy love! So cute!
