Reply to comment by dustyceilingfan in What's the best audiobook you've listened to? by TheAres1999

I saw him in an interview talking about how much he struggled with the ā€œNā€ word in that reading. I can imagine the concern of hurting/angering others but also, it was a book of a certain time so he really had to leave it in.

Yes, great reading.

Yes. I wondered about that because there are a lot of them and Elijah did not spare the hard R. It's not only that the book is of a different time, Mark Twain was writing true to characters. The characters in his story would absolutely use those words.
