Here was this nigger, which I had as good as helped to run away, coming right out flat-footed and saying he would steal his childrenchildren that belonged to a man I didnt even know; a man that hadnt ever done me no harm. They was still a minutethinking; then the king says, kind of absent-minded like: Mf! And spose he steps in here any minute, and sings out my name before I can throw him a wink to keep quiet? So away I shoved, and turned the corner, and nearly rammed my head into Uncle Silass stomach! Ive been in town two days, and I haint heard nothing but about you bein rich. Then I turned around and there he was. But it warnt no use; he stormed right along, and said any man that pretended to be an Englishman and couldnt imitate the lingo no better than what he did was a fraud and a liar.

I was glad I didnt drink whisky; but it wouldnt made much difference anyway, because most of the time they couldnt a treed me because I didnt breathe. I haint seen no fog, nor no islands, nor no troubles, nor nothing. After midnight the people on shore went to bed, and then for two or three hours the shores was blackno more sparks in the cabin windows. Then I says: Its good daylight. In the morning.

Jim was monstrous proud about it, and he got so he wouldnt hardly notice the other niggers. Did you hear em shooting the cannon?, Oh, yes. I knowed very well why they wouldnt come. Now I was feeling pretty comfortable all down one side, and pretty uncomfortable all up the other.

After breakfast the king he took a seat on the corner of the raft, and pulled off his boots and rolled up his britches, and let his legs dangle in the water, so as to be comfortable, and lit his pipe, and went to getting his Romeo and Juliet by heart. Well, I never see the beat of it in my born days! and I couldnt ever understand before, until that minute and that talk, how he could help a body set a nigger free with his bringing-up. But Jim fished me out, and was going to hug me and bless me, and so on, he was so glad I was back and we was shut of the king and the duke, but I says: Not now; have it for breakfast, have it for breakfast!
