gun in his sleep and it shot him in the calf
huck tells the doctor not to ay anything because they want to .. their folks and the doctor asks who his folks are and Huck says the
surprise; phelpses
the doctor sees the canoe and gets worried because he thinks it isn’t
big enough for two
huck makes the mistake of saying that the canoe held the
three of them
he corrects himself by saying it held him,
sid, and the guns but he stutters
the doctor says that he would look around for a bigger canoe and tells huck to
wait for himto get back
huck tells the doctor hwo to find the
raft
Huck considers the possibility that it would take a couple of days for the doctor to fix Tom’s leg and decides that in that case they could tie him up and bring him down the
river with them and then pay him well
huck returns to find
uncle silas, who asks him where he was
huck says that sid and he were just hunting for the runaway slave and were trying to
find the other guys
huck lies and says that sid was at the post office trying to hear any news so they went but
tom wasn’t there
silas says that they would return and TOm (Sid) can just
walk home
silas and huck return home and sally is
so ahppy
there’s someone named mrs. hotchkiss who claims that jim was crazy because of the
inscriptions that are on the grindstone
they’re all talkinga bout the grindstone & rope ladder and wondering how jim got a hold of all those items and how the
hole came to be
They say that everything was done in such a tedious manner that it must have taken the
effort of many men
someon says that there must’ve been an abundance of slaves in tghe hut every night
helping jim to do what he did
sally begins mentioning how all of those items were stolen from them, thinking that the
slaves did it
someone mentions something about
house thieves
sally says that she locked the room of Huck and Tom, and Huck says that they woke up froma ll the guns and that the two of them went down the
lightning rod and got hurt a little
sally says she’ll forgive them, considering it to be
noramal boyish behavior
Sid didn’t arrive at al and so, after supper, Silas goes to
find Tom
Silas returns at 10 and didn’t find
tom
Sally tucks huck in for bed and speaks about sid and begins crying and then she says that she won’t lock the door but asks huck to be g
be good and stay for her sake
huck now feels guilty to leave because he doesn’t want to
make sally feel bad anymore
huck slips down the lightning rod twice during the night and sees
sally crying
the third time around dawn he slips down the rod and sees that sally is
sleeping
