Question: CHAPTER XV 

SOMETHING OF A MYSTERY 

"Dan Baxter!" 

The cry came simultaneously from several of the crowd. 

"I think Dick is right," said Songbird. "I thought it must be Dan, but I wasn't sure, for I didn't expect to see him here." 

"He and that Sack Todd must have become friends," put in Tom. "I would like to know what Dan is doing out here." 

"He is certainly up to no good," answered Dick. "I must say this adds to the mystery, doesn't it, boys?" 

"That's what it does," chimed in Sam. "I wish we could catch Baxter and bring him to justice." 

"Or reform him," came from Dick. 

"Reform him, Dick!" cried Tom. "That would be mighty uphill work." 

"It isn't in him," added Fred. "He is tee-totally bad." 

"I used to think that of Dan's father, but Arnold Baxter has reformed--and he wants his son to do likewise." 

"Well, that isn't here or there," said Tom after a pause. "What are we to do just now?" 

"Let us push on to town first," answered Songbird. "After that, we can rearrange our plans if we wish." 

This was considered good advice, and once again they urged their steeds along. Coming to a high point in the trail, they made out Caville a mile distant, and rode into the town about noon. 

It was not much of a place, and the single hotel afforded only the slimmest of accommodations. But they had to be satisfied, and so made the best of it.  1. Who was everyone surprised to see?
2. Who was first to recognize him?
3. Is everyone happy to see him?

Q: Buenos Aires ( or ; ) is the capital and most populous city of Argentina. The city is located on the western shore of the estuary of the Río de la Plata, on the South American continent's southeastern coast. "Buenos aires" can be translated as "fair winds" or "good airs", but the first one was the meaning intended by the founders in the 16th century, by the use of the original name "Real de Nuestra Señora Santa María del Buen Ayre". The Greater Buenos Aires conurbation, which also includes several Buenos Aires Province districts, constitutes the fourth-most populous metropolitan area in the Americas, with a population of around 17 million. 

The city of Buenos Aires is neither part of Buenos Aires Province nor the Province's capital; rather, it is an autonomous district. In 1880, after decades of political infighting, Buenos Aires was federalized and removed from Buenos Aires Province. The city limits were enlarged to include the towns of Belgrano and Flores; both are now neighborhoods of the city. The 1994 constitutional amendment granted the city autonomy, hence its formal name: Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires). Its citizens first elected a chief of government (i.e. mayor) in 1996; previously, the mayor was directly appointed by the President of the Republic.

input: CHAPTER VI. PLANS TO SECURE THE DIAMONDS 

WE tramped along behind Jim and Lem till we come to the back stile where old Jim's cabin was that he was captivated in, the time we set him free, and here come the dogs piling around us to say howdy, and there was the lights of the house, too; so we warn't afeard any more, and was going to climb over, but Tom says: 

"Hold on; set down here a minute. By George!" 

"What's the matter?" says I. 

"Matter enough!" he says. "Wasn't you expecting we would be the first to tell the family who it is that's been killed yonder in the sycamores, and all about them rapscallions that done it, and about the di'monds they've smouched off of the corpse, and paint it up fine, and have the glory of being the ones that knows a lot more about it than anybody else?" 

"Why, of course. It wouldn't be you, Tom Sawyer, if you was to let such a chance go by. I reckon it ain't going to suffer none for lack of paint," I says, "when you start in to scollop the facts." 

"Well, now," he says, perfectly ca'm, "what would you say if I was to tell you I ain't going to start in at all?" 

I was astonished to hear him talk so. I says: 

"I'd say it's a lie. You ain't in earnest, Tom Sawyer?"
