What does this excerpt reveal about Tom and Huck’s friendship? What about Tom’s moral character?

In Chapter 27, Tom admits that, “He did not care to have Huck’s company in public places” (Twain 156).

This shows Tom to be rather shallow as a friend. The friendship is largely on Tom's terms and Huck is too counter-culture for Tom's comfort.
