A few days before, he sat down one night and wrote to Jim +Gillis, away out in the Tuolumne Hills, and told him of all his good +fortune, recalling their days at Angel's Camp, and the absurd frog story, +which he said had been the beginning of his happiness. In the five years +since then he had traveled a long way, but he had not forgotten. + +"Roughing It," in fact, proved a very successful book. Like "The +Innocents Abroad," it was the first of its kind, fresh in its humor and +description, true in its picture of the frontier life he had known. In +three months forty thousand copies had been sold, and now, after more +than forty years, it is still a popular book. The life it describes is +all gone--the scenes are changed. It is a record of a vanished time--a +delightful history--as delightful to-day as ever. + +England fairly reveled in Mark Twain. At one of the great banquets, a +roll of the distinguished guests was called, and the names properly +applauded. Mark Twain, busily engaged in low conversation with his +neighbor, applauded without listening, vigorously or mildly, as the +others led. Finally a name was followed by a great burst of long and +vehement clapping. This must be some very great person indeed, and Mark +Twain, not to be outdone in his approval, stoutly kept his hands going +when all others had finished. + +"Whose name was that we were just applauding?" he asked of his neighbor. +--"Mark Twain's." + +They remained for a time in London--a period of honors and entertainment. +If Mark Twain had been a lion on his first visit, he was hardly less than +royalty now. His rooms at the Langham Hotel were like a court. The +nation's most distinguished men--among them Robert Browning, Sir John +Millais, Lord Houghton, and Sir Charles Dilke--came to pay their +respects. Authors were calling constantly. Charles Reade and Wilkie +Collins could not get enough of Mark Twain. Reade proposed to join with +him in writing a novel, as Warner had done. Lewis Carroll did not call, +being too timid, but they met the author of "Alice in Wonderland" one +night at a dinner, "the shyest full-grown man, except Uncle Remiss, I +ever saw," Mark Twain once declared. + +At Quarry Farm that summer Mark Twain began the writing of "The +Adventures of Tom Sawyer." He had been planning for some time to set down +the story of those far-off days along the river-front at Hannibal, with +John Briggs, Tom Blankenship, and the rest of that graceless band, and +now in the cool luxury of a little study which Mrs. Crane had built for +him on the hillside he set himself to spin the fabric of his youth. The +study was a delightful place to work. It was octagonal in shape, with +windows on all sides, something like a pilot-house. From any direction +the breeze could come, and there were fine views. To Twichell he wrote: + +"I came in with Halley's comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and +I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my +life if I don't go out with Halley's comet." + +The terms of Samuel Clemens's apprenticeship were the usual thing for +that day: board and clothes--"more board than clothes, and not much of +either," Mark Twain used to say. + +"If your memory extends so far back, you will recall a little sandy- +haired boy of nearly a quarter of a century ago, in the printing-office +at Hannibal, over the Brittingham drug-store, mounted upon a little box +at the case, who used to love to sing so well the statement of the poor +drunken man who was supposed to have fallen by the wayside, 'If ever I +get up again, I'll stay up--if I kin.'" + +"Do you swear?"--"N-not for amusement; only under pressure." + +"When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or +not; but I am getting old, and soon I shall remember only the latter." + + + + + +TWAIN'S LETTERS V1 1835-1866 +by A.
