Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

CHAPTER XXIII
10/15

S'pose people left money laying around where he was--what did he do?
He collared it.

S'pose he contracted to do a thing, and you paid him, and didn't set down there and see that he done it--what did he do?
He always done the other thing.
S'pose he opened his mouth--what then?
If he didn't shut it up powerful quick he'd lose a lie every time.

That's the kind of a bug Henry was; and if we'd a had him along 'stead of our kings he'd a fooled that town a heap worse than ourn done.

I don't say that ourn is lambs, because they ain't, when you come right down to the cold facts; but they ain't nothing to THAT old ram, anyway.

All I say is, kings is kings, and you got to make allowances.
