In this chapter, Huck continues his story of staying in the twentieth century. He explains that he dislikes his cousin, Wyolie, because he doesn't like his own identity, which is that he's a member of a family. He also explains that Jane was married to a cousin, and that she longed for freedom, but didn't want to rebel against the family. After her grandmother's death, Jane kept him with her, and she's learned about her family's affairs. Huck asks if Jane wants to come to his room tonight, and he tells her that it's been seven hundred years.
