In Chapter 20 of *The Adventures of Tom Sawyer*, Becky Thatcher sneaks a look at the headmaster's hidden book, "Professor Somebody's *Anatomy*," as the narrator calls it, which the school teacher locks away from his curious pupils but this day left untypically unlocked, and Tom takes the punishment she would have received by shouting that he tore it before Becky can answer the headmaster's inquiry of each student in the class concerning the unintended vandalism.
