Chapter 12 At Mrs. Douglas’s House
Tom said, “Let’s take the money to the old house near
Mrs. Douglas’s house. That’s a good place for it.”
They started to walk to the old house. Mr. Jones was in
Mrs. Douglas’s yard. He called to the boys.
“A lot of people are waiting for you. Come with me,” he
said. They went into Mrs. Douglas’s house.
“Hello, boys,” Mrs. Douglas said. “Come with me.”
Tom and Huck went with her to a bedroom. There were
new shirts and jeans on the bed.
“Wash your hands and faces and put on these shirts and
jeans,” Mrs. Douglas said. “Then come to the big room.”
The boys went to the room. A lot of people were there.
Mrs. Douglas said, “First I want to say ‘thank you’ to
Mr. Jones and his sons. They helped me. They’re very
good people.”
“Huck helped, too,” Mr. Jones said.
‘Thank you, too, Huck,” Mrs. Douglas said. “You’re a
good boy, and I like you. I want to give you a home and
some money.”

“But Huck has a lot of money!” Tom said.
He went to the bedroom and came back with the bags of
money. “We have this money from the cave There’s a lot
of money in them, and it’s ours now.”
There was $12,000 in the bags. The people were very
surprised. They asked about the boys’ adventure.
Chapter 13 Huck’s New Home
Huck lived in the big house with Mrs. Douglas. He was a
new person. He washed every day, and he went to school
and church. But he wasn’t happy. He stayed there for three
weeks, and then he ran away.
Tom went to Huck. “Why did you run away?”
Huck answered, “Mrs. Douglas is a good woman. I like
her, but I can’t live with her. I don’t like washing every
day, and I don’t like going to school and church. I don’t
want to have a lot of money. But I want to be your friend.
OK?”
“No,” Tom said, “I can’t be your friend, because the
boys at school don’t want to play with you. We’re
thinking about a lot of new adventures. Please live with
Mrs. Douglas and come to school. Then the boys at school
can play with you.”
“I want to be your friend,” Huck said, “and I want to
have adventures with you and the boys at school. Maybe I
can live with Mrs. Douglas. I don’t know, but I’m going to
try it again for a month.”
“Good,” Tom said. “The boys are meeting later, at
twelve o’clock at night. You can come, too.”
“Good!” Huck said.
