Blue Class Vocab--The Devil and Tom Walker
"Egad, Old Scratch must have had a tough time of it." So notes the observant Tom Walker after he finds cloven footprints and shocks of the Devil's hair underneath the tree in which he finds the heart and liver of his wife wrapped in the checked apron from the Walker household.
Tom is not the least bit upset about his wife's undoing. In fact, he almost feels as if he owes the Devil a bit of gratitude for the "kindness" he has done for him, the "kindness" of killing his wife. Tom may not be free from the Devil's bargain, but now he IS free from his wife's incessant nagging.
Oh well.
