The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Huckleberry Finn Quotes

Huckleberry Finn

Quote 13

"Most always -- most always. He ain't no account; but then he hain't ever done anything to hurt anybody. Just fishes a little, to get money to get drunk on -- and loafs around considerable; but lord, we all do that -- leastways most of us -- preachers and such like." (23.19)

Here, Huck takes a little jab at the preaching profession – but only so that he can paint Muff Potter in a better light.
