Explanation:

When the story opens on a chateau in Picardy (that's in France), we're introduced to a group of friends who have gotten together for hunting season. The narrator tells us one critical detail about these friends, but doesn't go into deep explanation about each guy: these guys are jokesters. As in, they like to play practical jokes on each other and everyone else. It's a fact that the narrator doesn't object to because he tells us, ''My friends were fond of practical joking, as all my friends are. I do not care to know any other sort of people.''

Immediately On Guard

Very early in the story - in fact, upon the narrator's arrival - we discover that he is immediately distrustful of his friends' welcome. The pack of friends engage in some shooting, but all the while, the narrator is waiting for the other shoe to drop: ''Look out, old ferret! They have something in preparation for you,'' he says.

Dinnertime has arrived and, still, the narrator is suspicious. His friends' mirth (or fun) is too great, the narrator concludes. Surely the friends are up to something. Yet, the evening continues without incident. It doesn't stop the narrator from watching every word and meaning uttered during their time together. He's even suspicious of the servants in the residence.

Bedtime Comes

At last, the hour for bedtime arrives, and each friend prepares to retire for the evening. The narrator, already in his room, hears laughter and whispering in the hall. Surely, now, the practical joke is close to happening.

The narrator looks around the room: from the curtains to the armchair. He lights every candle in the room, fearful of his single candle going out and being the subject of a great joke in the dark.

The bed, the narrator decides, looks particularly suspicious: ''I was going perhaps to receive a cold shower-bath from overhead, or perhaps, the moment I stretched myself out, to find myself sinking under the floor with my mattress,'' he offers.

To thwart any possible practical joke attempts, the narrator decides to pull the mattress off of the bed's frame and position it in the center of the room. It's here that he settles in for the night and eventually falls asleep.
