“Are you a stranger? ” asked the barber.

　　“Yes, ” Mark Twain replied. “This is the first time I’ve been here. ”

　　“You chose a good time to come, ” the barber continued. “Mark Twain is going to give a lecture tonight. You’ll go, I suppose? ”

　　“Oh, I guess so. ”

　　“Have you bought your ticket? ”

　　“Not yet. ”

　　“But everything is sold out. You’ll have to stand. ”

　　“How annoying! ” Mark Twain said with a sigh. “I never saw such luck. I always have to stand when that fellow lectures. ”

　　Mark Twain and Whistler

　　Whistler, the famous artist, once invited Mark Twain to visit his studio to see a new painting he was just finishing. The humorist examined the canvas for some time in silence, then said, “I’d do away with that cloud if I were you, ” and extended his hand carelessly toward one corner of the picture as though about to smudge out a cloud effect. Whistler cried out nervously, “God, sir, be careful!

　　Don’t you see the paint is still wet? ”

　　“Oh, that doesn’t matter, ” said Mark Twain. “I’ve got my gloves on. ”
