A Story Of Two Frauds : The Wilk's Family Incident

This story all began after the death of the beloved, Peter Wilks'. Shortly after his death, his brother's  (Harvey and William) from England are notified, and they said they were on the way. When the brother's finally arrived(the two frauds), they were sobbing and comforting their nieces  Peter Wilks' gave all of his possessions to his brothers and divided 6,000 dollars between his daughters, Harvey, and William.  A local doctor notices characteristics about the brothers, that seem off, which led him to believe they were frauds. When the doctor tried to convince the daughters that those two men were frauds, the daughters gave all their money to their uncles to prove they had faith that they were their true uncles. The next morning Joanna, one of the daughters, ask who we know as Huckle Berry Finn, a series of questions about England. See Huck was in disguise at the time. Huck is almost busted, but amazingly gets out of dodge. Huck's better side of him got the best of him and couldn't let the two frauds take advantage of the girls and their money. Huck found out where the frauds were hiding the money by spying on them. So he took the money and waited for an opportunity to return it to the girls. One things leads to another and Huck ends up hiding the money in Peter Wilks' coffin. The money is buried the next day with Peter Wilks' at his funeral. The frauds announce that the estate would be sold in two days, which is when they planned to run off with the money. Huck comes up with a plan. He tells Mary Jane, one of the daughters, to run off for a day and tells her where the gold is hidden. Shortly after Mary Jane runs off, the real Harvey and William appear. Only a few people believe them, and they said they could prove it when they got their baggage. The two sets of brothers are interrogated  everybody is pretty sure that the new brothers are not frauds, but cannot confirm this until they exam the body to figure out what tattoo Peter had(they asked what tattoo he had). When they opened the coffin they discover the money was in there. Huck and the two frauds gave everybody the slip while they were focused on the money.
