King and Majesty

Huck and Jim continue traveling down the river in their raft. While they are floating down, they come across two men who want to be let onto their raft. The two men do not even know each other but after sharing stories with each other about their life and past events, they decide to team up against Huck and Jim. They are also both professional con artists. One of the men tells Huck and Jim that he is royalty and that that he is an English duke. The other man said that he is a dauphin. Huck figures out quickly that the men are liars. I do not think that the Duke and the King are very trustworthy considering that they stole Huck and Jim’s beds. However, I think that it is okay for Huck and Jim to go along with the two men, however they should just keep an eye on them. I do not think that it is necessarily going to be a problem to go along with their ploy. Huck and Jim want to keep the peace on the raft and do not want to cause turmoil, so Huck might as well go along with the two men's joke and not tell Jim his reasoning.
