The Prince and the Pauper Chapter 9 Summary

The River Pageant

  • This chapter starts with a pretty long description of the various fancy pageants happening on the riverfront of the palace.
  • In a nutshell: there are a lot of very important people, and even some not so important people, and they're wearing totally fancy clothes.
  • It's a party celebrating the Prince of Wales, and nearly this whole chapter is spent dwelling on what everyone is wearing. Seems like these people are totally into appearances.
