– Mark Twain

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Chapter 27. On hearing footsteps, Huck stashes the money he is stealing back from the Duke and King in the nearest hiding place – the coffin. Huck tricks the con duo by using “immoral” actions, but it is done for the greater good to return the money to Mary Jane and her family.
