美国小说是从马克.吐温开始的。
——海明威
马克.吐温是第一个建立意识和美国语言的美国作家。
——福克纳
我喜欢马克.吐温——谁会不喜欢他呢？即使是上帝，亦会钟爱他，赋予其智慧，并于其心灵里绘画了出一首爱与信仰的彩虹。
——海伦.凯勒
“Look here，Henry，you alarm me.Didn’t I tell you the whole storyon the way here？”
”You？”
”Yes ，I.”
”I’ll be hanged if I heard a word of it.”
”Henry，this is a serious thing.It troubles me.What did you takeup yonder at the minister’s？”
Then it all flashed on me，and I owned up like a man.
”I took the dearest girl in this world-prisoner!”
So then he came with a rush，and we shook，and shook，and shook tillour hands ached; and he didn’t blame me for not having heard a wordof a story which had lasted while we walked three miles.He just satdown then，like the patient，good fellow he was，and told it all overagain.Synopsized，it amounted to this： He had come to England withwhat he thought was a grand opportunity; he had an ” option” tosell the Gould and Curry Extension for the”I ocators” of it，andkeep all he could get over a million dollars.He had worked hard，hadpulled every wire he knew of，had left no honestexpedientuntried，had spent nearly all the money he had in theworld，had notbeen able to get a solitary capitalist to listen tohim，and his option would run out at the end of the month.In aword，he was ruined.Then he jumped up and cried out：
”Henry，you can save me! You can save me，and you’re the only manin the universe that can.Will you do it？ Won’t you do it？”
” Tell me how.Speak out，my boy.”
”Give me a million and my passage home for my ‘option’ IDon’t，don’t refuse!”
I was in a kind of agony.I was right on the point of coming outwith the words，”Lloyd，I’m a pauper myself-absolutely penniless，andin debt! ” But a white-hot idea came flaming through my head，and Igripped my jaws together，and calmed myself down till I was as coldas acapitalist.Then I said，in a commercial and self-possessedway：”I will save you，Lloyd”
”Then I’m already saved! God be merciful to you forever! Ifever!”
”Let me finish，Lloyd.I will save you，but not in that way; forthat would not be fair to you，after your hard work，and the risksyou’ve run.I don’t need to buy mines; I can keep my capitalmoving，macommercial center like London，without that; it’s what I’mat，all the time; but here is what I’ll do.I know all about thatmine，of course，I know its immense value，and can swear to it ifanybody wishes it.You shall sell out inside of the fortnight forthree millionscash，using my name freely，and we’ll divide，share andshare alike.”
Do you know，he would have danced the furniture to kindling-woodin his insane joy，and broken everything on the place，f’ Ihadn’ttripped him up and tied him.
Then he lay there，perfectly happy，saying：
”I may use your namel Your name-think of it Man，they’ll flock indroves，these rich Londoners; they’ll fight for that stock! I’m amade man，I’m a made man forever，and I’ll never forget you aslong asI live”
In less than twenty-four hours London was abuzz! I hadn’tanything to do，day after day，but sit at home，and say to allcomers：”Yes; I told him to refer to me.I know the man，and I knowthe mine.His character is above reproach，and the mine is worth farmore than he asks for it.”
Meantime I spent all my evenings at the minister’s with Portia.Ididn’t say a word to her about the mine; I saved it for asurprise.Wetalked salary; never anything but salary andlove，sometimes love，sometimes salary，sometimes love and salarytogether.And my!the interest the minister’s wife and daughter tookin our little afiair，and the endless ingenuities they invented tosave us from interruption，and to keep the minister in the dark andunsuspicious-well，it was just lovely of them !
When the month was up at last，l had a million dollars to mycredit in the London and County Bank，and Hastings was fixed in thesame way.Dressed at my level best，l drove by the house in PortlandPlace，judged by the look of things that my birds were homeagain，went on towards the minister’s and got my precious，and westarted back，talking salary with all our might.She was so excitedand anxious that it made her just intolerably beautiful.Isaid：
” Dearie，the way you’re looking it’s a crime to strike for asalary a single penny under three thousand a year.”
”Henry，Henry，you’ll ruin usl”
”Don’t you be afraid.Just keep up those looks，and trust tome.
It’ll all come out right.”
So，as it turned out，l had to keep bolstering up her courage aUthe way.She kept pleading with me，and saying：” Oh，please rememberthat ifwe ask for too much we may get no salary at all，and thenwhat will become of us，with no way in the world to earn ourliving?”
We were ushered in by that same servant，and there they were，thetwo old gentlemen.Of course，they were surprised to see thatwonderful creature with me，but I said：”It’s all right，gentlemen;she is my future stay and helpmate.”
And I introduced them to her，and called them by name.It didn’tsurprise them; they knew I would know enough to consult thedirectory.They seated us，and were very polite to me，and verysoLicitous to relieve her from embarrassment，and put her as much ather ease as they could.Then I said：
” Gentlemen，l am ready to report.”
”We are glad to hear it，”said my man，”for now we can decide thebet which my brother Abel and I made.If you have won for me，youshall have any situation in my gift.Have you the million-pound note? “
” Here it is，sir，” and I handed it to him.
”I’ve won!” he shouted，and slapped Abel on the back.” Now what doyou say，brother?”
”I say he did survive，and I’ve lost twenty thousand pounds.Inever would have believed it.”
”I’ve a further report to make，”I said，” and a pretty long one.Iwant you to let me come soon，and detail my whole month’shistory;and I promise you it’s worth hearing.Meantime，take a lookat that.”
”What，man! Certificate of deposit for 200，000.Is it yours?”
”Mine.I earned it by thirty days’ judicious use of that littleloan you let me have.And the only use I made ofit was to buytrifles and offer the bill in change.”
” Come，this is astonishing! It’s incredible，man ! “
” Never mind，I’ll prove it.Don’t take my word unsupported.”
But now Portia’s turn was come to be surprised.Her eyes werespread wide，and she said：”Henry，is that really your money? Have youbeen fibbing tome?”
”I have，indeed，dearie.But you’ll forgive me，I know.”
She put up an arch pout，and said：”Don’t you be so sure.You are anaughty thing to deceive me so !”
”Oh，you’ll get over it，sweetheart，you’ll get over it; it was onlyfun，you know.Come，let’s be going.”
