Adventures of Huck

Chapter XXVI
Huck has supper with Joanna, the youngest Wilks sister, whom he refers to as "the hare-lip" because of her cleft lip, a birth defect. When she tests Huck's knowledge of England, he makes several slips, forgetting that he is supposedly from Sheffield, and that the Dauphin is supposed to be a Protestant minister. Finally she asks if he has made the entire thing up. Mary Jane and Susan, Joanna's sisters, interrupt and instruct Joanna to be courteous to their guest, and she graciously apologizes. Huck feels awful about letting such sweet women be swindled. He resolves to get them their money back. He goes to the con men's room to search for the money, and hides when they enter. The Duke wants to leave that very night, but the Dauphin convinces him to stay until they have stolen all the family's property. After they leave the room, Huck finds the gold and takes it to his sleeping cubby, and then sneaks out late at night.
