Da "perpetually
thirsty" King and Duke had hoped to begin living a life of luxsherry once they'd absconded with
da Wilks family's fortune, but thanks to Huck, Doc Robinson, other caring townspeople, and
da real Wilks brothers, all dat said "pair of low-down reptiles" ended up with was even drier throats --- not to mention emptier pockets, thanks to their "making up da deffersit" of da slightly-less-than-da-stated-total of da deceased
man's gold loot by adding in virtually all of their own ill-gotten gold coins --- than they'd had to start with!
