now we're on the second chapter of pudd'n head wilson. following points are the most vividly seen through a first swipe reading, :D. this list will enlarge with the course of time.
Wilson opens a law service as an attorney, but his unlucky remark keeps prospective clients away from him
--> he leaves the small office that he rents in the town, and decides to stay at his home and opens the same business here, but only gaining small-scale clients for trivial stuffs.
Wilson grows interest in palmistry
--> since it enlarges his
He sees hears Roxy and another Jasper quarrelling about something and threatening each other with harsh words
--> it shows that there's something serious between them, and here, Wilson's hobby in collecting fingerprints makes him take Roxy's and the two babies in her craddle's fingerprints.
In this scene, Roxy is introduced as a one-sixteenth black girl--although she's as fair as other white women, she speaks the way black people do.
Later in this chapter, Roxy's master shows a kind of anger because he senses a theft or two among his slaves
--> in this scene, we are introduced to one of the scariest things for black people, that is, being sold "DOWN THE RIVER".
