• Once everyone had gone go bed Huck went down stars to try and hid the money outside but before he could find a way out, being the front door was lock with no key handy, Mary Jane came down to the parlor, were Huck was. Huck, not knowing where to hide the money, puts it in the coffin just under the lid. In the morning the funeral takes place and everyone is there not giving Huck a time to try and get the money out of the coffin. The funeral was nice and all but Huck was terrified after the undertaker seals the coffin without looking inside leaving Huck with no idea of the money was in their or not. Huck also has there problem of sending Mary Jane a letter if the money was not in their. After much consideration he decides not to send the letter.
  
  When the King and Duke say that they are going back to England and would like to take the girls with them; the slaves and estate goes up for auction. The slave family was separated in the sale leaving the town, as well as the girls, hart broken for them saying that it was not right to do something like that. After the auction the King and Duke asks Huck about the missing money. When Huck mentions that he observed the slaves going into their room, he manages to get the suspicion of the theft on the slaves. 

• Huck: narrator of the story 
• King: man swindling people with the Duke 
• Duke: man swindling people with the King 
• Mary Jane: girl in town king and duke are fuelling 

• Why did Huck decide not to send the letter to Mary Jane? And what does it tell us about Huck?
• Is the quick trial going to be the Kings and Dukes downfall? Why? or why not?

• “The thing made a big stir in the town, too, and a good many come out flatfooted and said it was scandalous to separate the mother and the children that way.”

- This tells of the town’s sympathy to the slaves and that they thought them of being people. 

• “It does beat all, how neat the n***** played their hand. They let on to be sorry they was going out of this region! And I believed they was sorry. And so did you, and so did everybody. Don’t ever tell me anymore that a n***** ain’t got any histrionic talent.”

- The way this is said tell us that the Duke thinks that the slaves were smart and even out fooled him and the King just proving that blacks aren’t that low of people. 

• Slaves are being sold and families are being split causing uproar in the town. Could this be sympathy for the slaves? Or is it just another joke put in for the blacks account.
