Mark TwainQuote by Mark Twain: “It's lovely to live on a raft.
Jim, who is now on a plantation owned by Tom's aunt and uncle, is freed by the boys. However, Tom is shot by a pursuer. Jim gives up his freedom to help nurse Tom back to health, and is taken back to the plantation in chains. Upon waking up, Tom admits that he knew Jim was free the whole time, and Jim is released.
Why is Jim initially confused about getting a coat-of-arms? He thinks it's clothing.
Jim is free, Tom's leg is healed, Huck still has his $6,000, and Aunt Sally has offered to adopt him. Talk about your Hollywood ending. Well, not so fast. Settling down with Aunt Sally—as nice as she is—is about the last thing Huck wants to do.
Pilar shows she has much more good sense than Primitivo and the others, by understanding that it is impossible to save Sordo, and that he got himself into this trouble. She feels horrible for him, and is sad that she is losing her friend, but she knows that it is too dangerous to go help. Pilar has a fiery personality, but she often knows exactly what to do in such situations, where the men tend to act first and think later.
Robert Jordan leaves Anselmo with AgustĂn and the gun and goes to Primitivo to explain why they can't help El Sordo. The firing is followed by grenade sounds, and it is a massacre. There is also a double line of cavalrymen headed in El Sordo's direction. Primitivo says they have to help: "We cannot leave them alone to this." But Jordan says, "They are lost ... They were lost when the snow stopped. If we go there we are lost, too." Jordan says that in war, sometimes they have to endure things like this. Primitivo has tears in his eyes and is swearing. Pilar arrives with binoculars and expresses sympathy for Sordo. She realizes that it is because of the horse stealing and tracks in the snow. She also tells Jordan that Rafael told her about the cavalrymen. She tells Primitivo to stop being a romantic and act like a man about Sordo. She says she'll send food up for them, and tells Primitivo she was not trying to insult him.
