Duke and the King

The young man, the Duke, made a paste that was suppose to move tartar from your teeth but took some enamel with it. So he fled to avoid the anger of the townspeople. The old man, the long last son of Louis XVI, held temperance revival meetings but once people found out that he drank, he had to leave town as well. With both of them no knowing each other and being con-artists they try to con Huck and Jim into waiting on them hand and foot. They start being as polite as possible to them and do everything asked, once it becomes apparent to Huck that they are lying he decides not to tell them he knows in order to avoid conflict. In my opinion it is wise for them to play along because neither Jim nor Huck know what the two men are capable of or if they know the stories of Huck and Jim. If the two men do know about Jim or Huck then they could turn them in to get money so it is better for the both of them to keep a low profile and not upset the Duke and King.
