The chapter opens with a flashback to the early days of Huck's life, when Huck was a young boy. Huck asks his father if he still has sex with him, and his father responds that he does. Huck then asks his mother if she has passed away, and her response is that she has died. Huck tells his mother that he will never be lonely because he will always be with her. He then asks if Huck has been giving him hints, and she replies that he has, but that what he said twenty years ago still holds true. Huck, however, is not satisfied with this answer. He wants to know if Huck is giving him a hint, and he asks Huck to rub his ass with something, but Huck says that he is not doing that, and that what Huck is doing is not helping him. Huck finally asks Huck if he has come to take him out of the house, and Huck tells him that he did. Huck is horrified at the thought that Huck is making all these sexual advances on him
