Chapter+27+Summary

That night, Tom is tortured by his dreams, in which he is holding the treasure Injun Joe and the other man found in the haunted house, but then he would wake, realizing it was a dream. In the morning, Tom started to think, more so hope, that what happened in the chapter before was a dream and that is never really happened. The fact that Tom had never seen more than fifty dollars at the same time lead to him the idea that hundreds or thousands of dollars in the same place was just a thing of someone’s imagination. However, the more Tom thought about it the more he started to doubt that it was a dream. A little bit later, Tom meets up with Huck. Tom was still hoping it was a dream when Huck said something about them leaving the tools. After that Tom and Huck talk about the night before and talk about what they’re going to do. A few minutes later Tom and Huck decide to find the number 2 room, which they conclude has to be a room in one of the two taverns in town. Tom then went off to each tavern and at the first room number 2 has been occupied by a young lawyer for a while now. At the other tavern, he found out room number 2 was kept locked all the time and that nobody sees anyone leave or come in. After learning this Tom goes and tells Huck what he learned. Huck asks Tom what they’re going to do, and Tom responds by saying that they are going to watch the alley that the back door of room number two leads to see if they see the Injun Joe. He also says Huck should collect as many keys as he can, and he'll do the same, and try them on the door the first dark night they can. They end the chapter by saying that if they see Injun Joe, that one of them will follow him and see if he can lead them to the treasure.
