Huck Finn Ch 29 Flashcards
harvey spoke and cleary had an
english accent
harvey states that william’s arm broke and that they lost their baggage but that they would be able to
prove that it was truly them when their baggage returned
levi bell claims that the king and the duke are frauds and he says that he saw them with a boy on a cone and he
easily points out huck
they decide not to allow the king and duke to leave until they figure out who the real
harvey and william are
they bring in the duke and king and the king explains how the slaves
stole the money
the doctor asks huck if he’s english too and when huck says yes some people
laugh and say “Stuff!”
levi bell asks the duke to sign his name and then they ask the real harvey and william to sign as well. he takes out a letter from harvey and it doesn’t match either of the
men’s writings
based on the letters, the lawyer determines that the king and duke are
neither of the wilkdses
the duke then says that william was pulling a prank and that’s why the
writing didn’t match
harvey then asks if anybody int he room helped
bury peter wilks
harvey then says that the king can say what was tattooed on
peter’s breast
the king says that it’s a small, thin, blue arrow but the men who buried peter said that they
didn’t see that mark
harvey says that peter had a P-B-W tattooed on his chest but the men who buried him said
they didn’t see any marks at all
the lawyer says that h4ey can
dig up the corpse ot find out

lynch all of them
