The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn chap. 22

It says that people were swarming Sherburns house to see what was going on. The mob tears down the wall and then Sherburn comes out on the roof, said nothing for a bit, then said something. Huck went to the circus and took his twenty-dollar gold piece, but didn't spend it. When Huck was at the circus, it was just a regular circus like today but then it was different. People were killed and the ringmaster didnt say a word to the clown. Then a man comes into the ring wanting to ride the horse, but he was drunk. The ringmaster first didn't let him, but then the ringmaster gives in and lets the man ride the horse. The drunk man gets on the horse and rides, then falls of and leaves the ring. When the circus was over, the duke came up with a handbill that would try to get people to come. The plays was going to be from Shakespeare and the duke said no ladies and children were not admitted. The duke hopes people would come and if they didnt he dont know Arkansaw.
