Using indirect dialogue allows Twain to compress and shorten the conversation. By using fewer words (instead of including the exact dialogue), Twain can keep the scene short and move on to a more interesting part of the story.
If the dialogue were written out exactly as it was spoken, it would take a lot longer to read, since many animals are speaking to the donkey in this scene.
When the <em>two </em>ghosts appeared in my room, I was <em>too</em> shocked to move. I looked between them, back and forth, one<em> to</em> the other. They were standing, or well, sort of floating in a corner. Slightly shaking, I scooted backwards, pulling my bed covers up to my chin, <em>too</em> scared <em>to</em> do anything else. They didn't seem to notice me at first. Quickly and quietly, I slipped my toes out of bed, and snatched up my slippers. The <em>two</em> bunny noses stared back at me, and instead of putting them on, like I had originaly planned, BAM, I threw them as hard as I possibly could, maybe even <em>too </em>hard. I squeezed my eyes closed, thinking the worst, but when I cautiously opened them again, the <em>two</em> pale spectors who had been hovering in my corner had disapeared, never <em>to</em> be seen again.
