Chapter9. In Westminster Palace
Tom had a beautiful clothe, house, and nice food, but he wanted to go back and played with the other boys and swan in the river.

Chapter10. Thief! Thief!
Hugo said a lie which to find Miles to Edward, actually, he brought him to meet John Canty. Then, they went out to get money and food. Hugo stole a hen from a woman and transferred to Edward, then, said Edward was a thief. Finally, Miles appeared and saved Edward.

Chapter11. Hendon Hall
Miles and Edward went to Miles’ home, but his brother Arthur did not let him going home. Arthur stole his home, land, and now he wanted to steal Lady Edith, who was to be his wife. So, Angry Miles threw Arthur to the floor, but servants carried Miles and Edward away to the prison.

Chapter12. Prison
Miles and Edward were in the prison, and Edward met Basil, who used to work in the garden when his father was alive. Then, Basil made them free, and they set out to go to London.

Chapter13. The king is crowned
Edward wrote a letter to Tom and went to Westminster Palace to see him. Sir Humphrey Marlow helped them to see Tom. Finally, Edward returned a king.

Chapter14. The end
Edward was a very good king because he had been among the people and he had learnt how they lived and what they need. And, Sir Miles got his home and his land again and married Lady Edith. And, Tom lived in the palace and was the king’s best friend and he gave his mother and two sisters a very nice house in the country. Then, John Canty was never seen again.

8. Comments
In my opinion, the prince and the pauper both were very different status. The author Mark Twain used two roles to describe the nobles and the commoner’s life, and he let two roles to change status each other for knew completely different life. Finally, Tom still was like a free life, and the prince Edward had been among the people and he had learnt how they lived and what they need, then be a very good king. Nowadays, if every officer can be Edward, who know what suffering people have and give them a hand. I think our country will be better.
