Instead of playing with the other children, Tom would sneak away from the schoolyard to the jail cell where Muff Potter was held prisoner, smuggling small tokens and gifts through the barred cell window ­ an outlet to ease Tom's guilty conscience. Tom and Huck are shown to be more empathetic than the rest of the town.
