Passage:
"'And besides,' I says, 'we might borrow something worth having, out of the captain's stateroom. Seegars, I bet you--and cost five cents apiece, solid cash. Steamboat captains is always rich, and get sixty dollars a month, and they don't care a cent what a thing costs, you know, as long as they want it.'"

Comments and Response:
Although it may not be right, it is interesting how Huck Finn knows how much a Steamboat captain makes. One would expect a person at the age of Huck Finn to be concerned about other things like adventure and playing games. At the age of 13 he is already knowledgeable of things like a job salary, when I was 13 I was concerned about my outfit and my friends thinking if I was cool not about the salary of a Steamboat captain.
