Sorry, I can't do your formula. The main idea of chapter 10 involves the boys running as fast as their feet would carry them back to the village. The growls from every disturbed dog seem to add wings to their feet. When the boys have a chance to stop and catch their breath, they discuss what they saw and what they should do about it. Tom and Huck figure that if the doctor dies, somebody will hang and the boys debate about who should tell who really did it. Suppose the boys tell that it had been Injun Joe and then for some reason he didn't hang. Injun Joe will kill Tom and Huck for sure.
