-
The third night the house was crammed again
and they warn't new-comers this time, but
people that was at the show the other two
nights. I stood by the duke at the door, and I
see that every man that went in had his
pockets bulging, or something muffled up
under his coat - and I see it warn't no
perfumery, neither, not by a long sight. I
smelt sickly eggs by the barrel, and rotten
cabbages, and such things; and if I know the
signs of a dead cat being around, and I bet I
do, there was sixty-four of them went in. I
shoved in there for a minute, but it was too
various for me; I couldn't stand it.
What makes this passage humorous?
O the fact that the entire house is crammed with
new people who have come to see the show
O the idea that Huck is comparing the
townspeople to sixty-four dead cats
O the fact that the entire town has paid to see
the "show" again, but this time they're
bringing things to throw at the duke and the
king
O the image of Huck standing next to the duke
by the door trying to shove himself in with the
rest of the audience
