Dear Great Scholars:
Perhaps I am the first person to mention this, but when I read Huckleberry
Finn, the characters of the imposters duke and king totally annoy me.  Could
the book have survived quite well without them?  If not, why not?  I just
want to tell Twain to "Get on with it".  I do not see what they contribute
to that novel.
