Passage:
"There was an inch of new snow on the ground, and I seen somebody's tracks. They had come come up from the quarry and stood around the stile awhile, and then went on around the garden fence. It was funny they hadn't come in, after standing around so. I couldn't make it out. It was very curious, somehow. I was going to follow around, but I stooped down to look at the tracks first. I didn't notice anything at first, but next I did. There was a cross in the left boot-heel made with big nails, to keep off the devil.
I was up in a second and shining down the hill. I looked over my shoulder ever now and then, but I didn't see nobody."

Comments and Response:
(Q) I wonder why Huck Finn got up and ran so quickly down the hill after seeing the cross in prints? It does not say what they mean or anything like that previously. If I were to guess they probably have something to do with Pap because so far he is the only one who seems to make Huck Finn uncomfortable like that.
