When Pap confronts Huck and warns him to quit school and stop trying to better himself, Huck continues to attend school just to spite Pap. Because Pap has a history of violence and drunkenness, Huck is worried about Pap's intentions, especially toward his invested money.
One day Huck discovers that his father, Pap Finn, has returned to town. Instead of obeying his guardians, however, Huck sneaks out of the house at night to join Tom Sawyer's gang and pretend that they are robbers and pirates.
Readers learn that the practical Huck has become rich from his last adventure with Tom Sawyer ( The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) and that the Widow Douglas and her sister, Miss Watson, have taken Huck into their home in order to try and teach him religion and proper manners. Consisting of 43 chapters, the novel begins with Huck Finn introducing himself as someone readers might have heard of in the past.
