[Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)]@TWC D-Link bookAdventures of Huckleberry Finn CHAPTER XXIII 3/15
What we want is to go out of here quiet, and talk this show up, and sell the REST of the town! Then we'll all be in the same boat.
Ain't that sensible ?" ("You bet it is!--the jedge is right!" everybody sings out.) "All right, then--not a word about any sell.
Go along home, and advise everybody to come and see the tragedy." Next day you couldn't hear nothing around that town but how splendid that show was.
House was jammed again that night, and we sold this crowd the same way.
When me and the king and the duke got home to the raft we all had a supper; and by and by, about midnight, they made Jim and me back her out and float her down the middle of the river, and fetch her in and hide her about two mile below town. The third night the house was crammed again--and they warn't new-comers this time, but people that was at the show the other two nights.
