In which the king and the duke confront each other over a hidden stash of money, revealing their cunning and distrust in a lively dispute that turns to humour and reconciliation by nightfall. The episode captures the restless jangling of conscience and the uneasy alliances that bind together such crafty sorts as these.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Chapter 30

Welcome aboard The Twain Train - the only conveyance I know of that runs on steam, mischief, and an alarming shortage of good sense. I’m Mark Twain (or a remarkably convincing echo of him), and I’ve brought along two specialists in trouble: Tom Sawyer, who can turn a fence into a fortune, and Huckleberry Finn, who can turn a quiet afternoon into a full-blown escape. Together we’ll drift the Mississippi, dodge respectability, and uncover the kind of truths that prefer to arrive wearing a joke. So settle in, keep your hands inside the imagination at all times, and mind the gap between what folks say they are and what they’ll do when nobody’s looking. Next stop: adventure.
