## Contents
The chapter depicts a pivotal social scene at the widow’s house, where Huck Finn is honored for his role in thwarting an attack on the widow by Injun Joe and his accomplice. Uncomfortable with the attention, Huck resists attending the celebration. Tom Sawyer defends Huck against Sid’s insinuations and ultimately reveals a major plot point: Huck is secretly rich, having discovered a large treasure. Tom produces sacks of gold coin—over twelve thousand dollars—at the supper table, astonishing the guests and overshadowing Mr. Jones’s planned revelation about Huck’s heroism. The chapter highlights themes of wealth, social discomfort, and the contrast between societal expectations and individual freedom, culminating in a dramatic and transformative moment for Huck’s status in the community.
