The King, And Duke, Of Fraudland

Chapters 29 and 30 have something in common with many other chapters we've read recently. The King, and the Duke are frauds, like in the rest of the chapters, yet this time they get caught in the act, and are almost lynched to death. With the omnipresent narrator, we get the dramatic irony part of the story, where we know the rapscallions are setting the town up. As well we get another version right on that same idea, that of situational irony. Since the frauds think they're setting the town up, yet they get fooled, and almost hanged because of their actions.
