Then you go and slip in the back way to the kitchen and git the pipe , and lay this piece of paper on the kitchen table , and put something on it to hold it , and then slide out and git away , and do n't let Aunt Polly catch a sight of you , nor nobody else .

He had wrote on it : `` THURSDAY AFTERNOON . Tom Sawyer the Erro-nort sends his love to Aunt Polly from Mount Sinai where the Ark was , and so does Huck Finn , and she will get it to-morrow morning half-past six . ''
