Read the following excerpt from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.

The widow she cried over me, and called me a poor lost lamb, and she called me a lot of other names, too, but she never meant no harm by it. She put me in them new clothes again, and I couldn't do nothing but sweat and sweat, and feel all cramped up. Well, then, the old thing commenced again. The widow rung a bell for supper, and you had to come to time. When you got to the table you couldn’t go right to eating, but you had to wait for the widow to tuck down her head and grumble a little over the victuals, though there warn’t really anything the matter with them,—that is, nothing only everything was cooked by
itself. . . .

Based on this excerpt, how is the widow BEST characterized?
A.
She treats Huck badly.
B.
She is kind and generous to Huck.
C.
She is selfish because she makes him wear clothes that make him sweat.
D.
She is mean because she would not let Huck eat as soon as he sat down at the table.
