I'll offer a summary of these first two chapters to get you up to speed: The first-person narrator of the story, Dr. James Sheppard, lives with his older unmarried sister Caroline in the country village of King’s Abbot on the outskirts of London.

These two chapters are a little slow so have some patience-Twin is trying to give us some lessons in economics- that being that one dollar in one economy might be considered very little- yet in another that same dollar is considered a fortune. Think of the North vs The South in the Civil War, In the south, a wheelbarrow of paper money was worth next to nothing, while in the North, a couple dollars could buy you some clothing. Hank (the Boss) could be a hero and a bum at the same time- and Chapter

As the Boss and The King travel through the king's land the King is witness to the tyranny and despair his subjects have to face- and literally sees them chased and hung and starved and imprisoned by nobles for no good reason- yet the King can't comprehend that there is anything wrong with any of that. Twain's mastery at depicting the evils of a monarchy and caste system is unequalled here. ANDROID USERS- 1001 Radio Days right here at Google Podcasts

These are two remarkable chapters in my opinion and here's why: In chapter 21 The Boss comes upon a long line of slaves consisting of men, women, and children, and describes in no uncertain terms the horror and sadness of their situation. This should dispel any doubts modern readers/listeners might have about Twain's view of slavery; in chapter 22 The Boss finally realizes how much he appreciates the abilities of Sandy, who, in spite of her long, long descriptions, can provide accurate depictions of

She soon proves to be extremely useful when their progress is halted by an attack of some errant knights. The Boss also tales some time to describe the system of governance whereby a select few elite lord it over everyone else claiming royal birthright allows them that privilege.. ANDROID USERS- 1001
