The passage ends with Huck saying that "I wouldn't done that one if I'd a known it would make him feel that way". Huck felt remorse for his actions, that he treated Jim like less than a man. Huck realized that Jim is a real man with real feelings, something that many failed to realize at the time. Both men say that they would kiss the others feet in the passage, this is a tradition started by the kissing of Jesus's feet, as a way to praise, thank, or ask for forgiveness. Jim does it thank, were as Huck uses it to ask for forgiveness. This is an example of irony because Huck nor jim were never going to kiss each others
