Explanation:
Obviously, Sid is very curious about what it is that Tom has to tell.
Tom's troubled sleep is the result of a tormented conscience. He and Huckleberry Finn have inadvertently witnessed the murder of Dr. Robinson at the graveyard, and they know that the killer is Injun Joe. Injun Joe, however, has managed to convince Muff Potter, who was also present that night and was very drunk, that he (Muff) is the one who did the killing. When Muff Potter is arrested for the crime and confesses, Tom and Huck feel very guilty for not coming forward with what they know. In all fairness to Muff Potter, they know that they should, but they are afraid of Injun Joe.
