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!
