My reaction to these chapters I was very shocked to see the King and the Duke are complete frauds. I didn’t think they would work over towns the way they did. Jim refers to the two as “Rapscallions.” I totally agree with that label, based on how they do things. The King and the Duke seem to be doing what they have always been doing, which is working people over. They make people pay for shows that are not quality.

Their lies, poor work and stealing is horrible, and they continue doing it. They make money off shows they put on, however these shows are not good at all. The two are no good, and I do not care for them at
