Huck went to go see where the king and duke hid the money. He checked the duke's room, and didn't know where to look for it. Then he heard the king and duke coming and hid. The duke went and grabbed the money from under the bed. The duke and king started talking about what they should do next. The king wanted to rob the poor orphans from everything they had. The duke said that they should leave right away and at least leave them the house. They agreed to stay a little longer and to hide the money elsewhere. Huck heard everything and waited for the right moment to take it and hide it. He waited at night to take it and when he was about to go outside to hide it, he heard someone coming. So he hid the money inside the coffin. The person who came down was Mary Jane. She wanted to see her father.
Well at least Huck is trying to do something about the money the frauds are trying to steal. I wonder how long its going to take the frauds to figure out "their" money is missing. Who knows he long the money will stay inside the coffin. That's weird to have to dig up a coffin just to get the money inside.

After Mary Jane gave the king all the right to do whatever he wanted with the money, the doctor left angry and told them to watch their backs. Mary Jane later showed the king, the duke and Huck were they would sleep. Huck taught over what the king and duke were up to, and he felt it was bad. Huck knew that these frauds wouldn't leave until they had everyone believing everything the say, so that no one would suspect them. Huck wanted to do something, but didn't how and what to do. Later Huck and Joaner were talking and Joaner started asking Huck some question Huck didn't know what to say. He was almost to the point where he would have got caught laying.
Like I said Huck gets put into bad situations. I wonder how he's going to get himself out of this one. Also, whatever happened to Jim, hope nothing happened to him. Well Huck better get a good idea out of this mess before they get caught.

After the king gave another one of his long speeches, the doctor showed up. The doctor's name was Abner Shckleford he saw the king and told the girl that he was a fraud. The doctor didn't believe that the king was Harvey Wilks. Mary Jane, Susan, and Joaner all tried to convince him but it didn't work. The doctor had asked the girls to trust him because he was their father's friend and their friend. Mary Jane turn her back on him and gave all the six thousand dollars to the king. She told him to do whatever he wanted.
Not to be rude but what kind of a person betrays a family friend for some guy you just met. Especially if that person claims to be someone you been looking for, but doesn't say anything until you tell them your father left your six thousand dollars. Which back then was worth a lot I may say. I guess they just trust anyone they meet. That is not always good. The doctor was right and the girls are going to regret one day.

The king had gotten Mary Jane and all the girls in the family to trust him. When they went to her house, Mary Jane went to go grab the letter her father wrote. The king read it out loud, it was his will. The letter also said that the six thousand dollars were down in the cellar. The king and duke said they would fetch it up along with Huck, he had to hold the candle. When they down the cellar they found the money and spilt it out on the floor, their eyes shinning. When they counted it, it was short four hundred and fifteen dollars. The duke came up with a plan to make some fake money an go up stairs and count the money in front of the girls. Mary Jane and Susan were shock to see so much money He counted the money and gave another speech.
How far are these frauds willing to go and how dumb are the girls to believe everything the duke and king say. Sooner or later their going to get caught. Huck is going to have to runaway again and this time it won't be his fault, but he was still a part of it. That suck to always find yourself getting in these situations.

After having heard the man's story of his family and what had happened to his brother, the king seemed even more interested in going to Orleans. The young girl had explained to the king that her brother had escaped with more than six thousand dollars before he died and hid it somewhere around a place that she knows. I guess I know where the story is going. Some fight is about to start with the family over the money. The young girl and man better watch their back because their saying to much to strangers.

Once Huck had gotten the steamboat, they were off to see the next town. On their way their, they saw this man running all wet. The king stopped the boat and brought him on board. He told the king his story of why he was running and then he asked the king what his name was. The king said, Reverend Elexander Blodget. They were on their way to New Orleans. I like how they accept anyone into their family, no matter what their background was. Their friends and family just keeps getting bigger. I lost track of how many people Huck has made friends with since he ran away.

The next day they landed in a different town. Jim was getting tired of being left behind and tied up. The Duke dressed Jim up in King Lear's outfit and painted him all blue. After that he wrote out a sign on a shingle so: SICK ARAB- BUT HARMLESS WHO NOT OUT OF HIS HEAD. Jim was happier to be lose and not be stuck down and tied up. I like that they are still getting along. Though they do seem to get into trouble several of times, their still together. That's one well kept family.
