In the middle of his soliloquy, Huck is interrupted by the sound of a knock on the door. It's the wedding day, and Huck is worried about what will happen to him if his fiancee and groom-to-be don't get along. He tells Huck that he's already decided what he'll say when they get married, and that's because he became friends with both of them when they were kids. Huck is so worried that he falls asleep on the ground and wakes up thinking about what happened when he was a kid.
