The chapter opens with the narrator's response to Huck's question about whether or not Huck wants to lose his "god-favored one" . Huck says that he's been "arrogant and conceited" since he was born. He says that his affections for his sister are like those for his brother and sister, and that he grew up with the idea that he and his sister would be together. But when Huck was older, he became dependent on his sister, so they were together less than two years. Huck was confused why his sister was hiding from him, so he went to her and found out what was going on. Huck didn't know what to think. He wasn't sure if his feelings for her were love or not, but he was used to people loving him. Huck doesn't want anyone to hurt his mom again, and he vows never to let anyone hurt her again. Huck also tells Huck about how his grandma reclaimed the family business after the stock market crash. Huck grew up to be more ruthless than his grandma's family, and this is how he became the man he is. Huck tells Huck that he got a call from his mom, asking him to divorce Huck and marry his sister. Huck refuses, and Huck says he'll try to convince his mom to accept him.
