The actual switch happens quickly-Tom is spotted gazing at the Prince of Wales, and having attracted the negative attention of the guards, is being beaten. Thus Twain is careful to create a plausible basis for how the boys carried off the switch. Tom himself escapes the meanness of his own life by reading and creating his own small kingdom among the other poor boys of the area.
