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!
