Passage:
"I staid in the tree till it begun to get dark, afraid to come down. Sometimes I heard guns away off in the woods; and twice I seen little gangs of men gallop past the log store with guns; so I reckoned the trouble was still agoing on. I was mighty down-hearted; so I made up my mind I wouldn't ever go anear that house again, because I reckoned I was to blame, somehow. I judged that that piece of paper meant that Miss Sophia was to meet Harney somewheres at half-past two and run-off; and judged I ought to told her father about that paper and the curious way she acted, and then maybe he would a locked her up and this awful mess wouldn't ever happened."

Comments and Response:
This scene further develops the character Huck Finn because he feels that he is responsible for the fighting that occurred. Although he was not directly involved in the fight he feels as though he caused it because he did not tell anyone about the letter that he gave to Miss Sophia. This scene shows how innocent Huck really is because instead of blame Miss Sophia for the events that transpired that day, he takes out on himself even though it is actually Miss Sophia's fault.
