Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain chapter 18, narrated by Isaac Birchall
The colonel is a true southern gentleman, he treats everyone with respect, and talks gently. He is shaved every day, and dresses impeccably. He radiates a warmth from him that is very comforting. When he and his wife come downstairs each morning, all members of the family stand up and drink a toast to the elders of the family. Huck then goes on to describe the other members of the family and describes how hospitable they are to any passersby.
Huck then talks about the other rich family in the area, and then recounts a time when he and Buck came across a member of the other family. Buck pulled his gun on the man and fired at the man. Buck didn’t get the man, and he and Huck had to run to get away from him. Once Huck and Buck had a moment alone, Huck asks Buck why he fired at the man, and Buck goes to tell Huck about the feud between the two families.
On the following Sunday, Huck and the family go to church and after getting home, the girl Sophia asks Huck if he could go back to the church and collect her bible that she forgot there. Inside of the bible is a note labled “half-past two.” As soon and Huck is home, he gives the bible to the girl and she immediately lights up when she sees the note. Huck sets out to think the situation over, and eventually his servant comes to find him, and leads him to a hidden away nook where Jim has been hiding for a couple of weeks. They are finally reunited, and more importantly, Jim tells Huck that the raft wasn’t destroyed.
After this encounter with Jim, Huck heads back to the house and wakes up the next day to find the house empty. The girl Sophia, and the Sheperdson boy that Buck shot at ran off together, and the families were at “War…”
