"Y' ole father doan' know yit what he's a-gwyne to do. Sometimes he spec he'll go 'way, en din ag'in he spec he'll stay. De bes' way is to res' easy en let de ole man rake his own way. Dey's two hoverin' roun' 'bout him. One uv 'em is white en shiny, t'other one is black. De white one gits him to go right a little while, den de black one saild in en bust it all up. A body can't tell yit which one gwyne fetch him at de las'."
This quote is foreshadowing pap coming back. Pap does appear in Huck's room right after Jim is done talking to Huck. I also think it is interesting that the two 'angels' are white and black, not white and red. Even Jim considers black an unfortunate color, even though it is his own color. He should have stayed strong and not allowed that deprocating expression to enter his vocabulary.
