The next morning, Huck finds the assistant dressed in the same outfit as the day before. Huck asks the assistant why the doves are used for magic, and the assistant explains that the white variety is used because it is docile and easy to raise. The white variety, Huck says, is also used in magic because they are small and can be trained to sit on one's hands or head if they are sold as doves. The assistant wonders why the white dove is so noisy, and Huck explains that it is because the white version of the dove is raised from a female pair. He says that he spent weeks learning the secret of how to feed the white varieties, and now that he hears the noise of the white one, he decides to let it out of the cage. Huck wonders why he has to do this, and he wonders if he will be able to calm it down. He wonders if the female pair has given birth to a white dove trick.
