She went to the open door and stood in it and looked out among the tomato vines and "jimpson" weeds that constituted the garden.
"It's mighty hard to make him work Saturdays, when all the boys is having holiday, but he hates work more than he hates anything else, and I've got to do some of my duty by him, or I'll be the ruination of the child."
While Tom was eating his supper, and stealing sugar as opportunity offered, Aunt Polly asked him questions that were full of guile, and very deep—for she wanted to trap him into damaging revealments.
She went to the open door and stood in it and looked out among the tomato vines and "jimpson" weeds that constituted the garden.

Elena-2011 [213]

There were forerunners before Martin Luther.  Men like Jan Huss, Savanarola and Erasmus were among the first to question the teachings of the Catholic Church.  However it was Luther who led the first successful break from Rome.  He did not do it on his own because he had the support of German nobles who liked what he preached.
