Document Summary
The royal nonesuch plays to a capacity audience. The dauphin, who appears onstage wearing nothing aside from body paint and some wild accoutrements, has the audience howling with laughter. But the crowd nearly attacks the duke and the dauphin when they end the show after only a brief performance. The people in the crowd, embarrassed at having been ripped off, decide to protect their honor by making certain that everyone in the town gets ripped off. After the performance, they tell everyone else in town that the play was wonderful. The second night, therefore, also brings a capacity crowd. As the duke has anticipated, the crowd on the third night consists of the two previous nights" audiences coming to get their revenge. Huck and the duke make a getaway to the raft before the show starts. They have earned over the three-night run. Jim is shocked that the royals are such.
