Chapter VI

ssssssssss

Well, pretty soon the old man was up and ssssssssss

around again, and then he went for ssssssssss

Judge Thatcher in the courts to make ssssssssss

him give up that money, and he went ssssssssss

for me, too, for not stopping school. ssssssssss

He catched me a couple of times and ssssssssss

thrashed me, but I went to school just ssssssssss

the same, and dodged him or out-run ssssssssss

him most of the time. I didn't want ssssssssss

to go to school much, before, but I ssssssssss

reckoned I'd go now to spite pap. ssssssssss

That law trial was a slow business; ssssssssss

appeared like they warn't ever going ssssssssss

to get started on it; so every now and ssssssssss

then I'd borrow two or three dollars ssssssssss

off of the judge for him, to keep from ssssssssss

getting a cowhiding. Every time he got money he got drunk; and every time

he got drunk he raised Cain around town; and every time he raised Cain he got

jailed. He was just suited -- this kind of thing was right in his line.

He got to hanging around the widow's too much, and so she told him at last,

that if he didn't quit using around there she would make trouble for him. Well,

wasn't he mad? He said he would show who was Huck Finn's boss. So he

watched out for me one day in the spring, and catched me, and took me up the

river about three mile, in a skiff, and crossed over to the Illinois shore where it

was woody and there warn't no houses but an old log hut in a place where the

timber was so thick you couldn't find it if you didn't know where it was.??
