The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Written by Mark Twain
“Pray for me! I reckoned if she knowed me she’d take a job that was more nearer her size. But I bet she done it, just the same—she was just that kind. She had the grit to pray for Judus if she took the notion—there warn’t no back-down to her, I judge.”
—Chapter 28, Overreaching Don’t Pay
