  Huckleberry Finn : You need to write a new story on me, don't you? Here you go - here is something to start from...

• Miss Watson : Can't you imagine how delightful it would be up in heaven playing on a golden harp?

  Huckleberry Finn : Do you aim to go up there? Then I'd rather go someplace else.

• Jim : If Massa Huck alive, can I stay here with you? They sold me to a bad man and I run off.

  Huckleberry Finn : I'm most certainly alive! Of course you can stay here. I appoint you secretary of the navy! Build me a ship where we can sleep at night.

• Huckleberry Finn : I'll go into town to get some news. Maybe they found some of me in the river and buried me. That'd be good to know.

• Mrs. Judith Loftus : What did you say your name was?

  Huckleberry Finn : Doris, Enid, Lucy, Mabel Williams.

  Mrs. Judith Loftus : I thought you said your name was Sarah, and a whole bunch of other names.

  Huckleberry Finn : I have a lot of names, so many that I change a little between them. Some I use on Sundays - and others on weekdays.

• Huckleberry Finn : Dear Lord, will you save Jim? If you do that, I promise you that I will write to Miss Watson and tell her where I am. So, if you absolutely want me to be back with Miss Watson, Jim has to be rescued.

  Huckleberry Finn : It's better that I tell the truth, then maybe Aunt Sally will adopt me and make me an educated young man, so I can go back to Mary Jane. And this I swear, Mary Jane will someday see me as a grown-up educated man.
