HOOFDSTUK I. "Tom!" Geen antwoord. "Tom!" Geen antwoord. "Waar zou die drommelsche jongen toch zitten? Hoor je me niet, Tom?" De oude dame, die deze woorden sprak, trok haar bril naar beneden om er overheen te kijken. Daarna duwde zij hem naar boven om er onderdoor te kijken. Zelden of nooit gebruikte zij hem om er _door_ te kijken, althans niet naar een zoo onbeduidend voorwerp als een kleine jongen. Immers haar bril was haar roem, de trots van haar hart, en zij had hem gekocht om ontzag in te boezemen, --niet om dienst te doen. Voor hare oogen toch kon zij evengoed een deksel van een sauspan genomen hebben. Een oogenblik zag zij onthutst in het rond en zeide, niet bepaald barsch, maar luid genoeg om door al de meubelen in de kamer gehoord te worden: "Als ik je krijg, dan zal...." Meer kon zij niet uitbrengen, want al pratende had zij zich voorovergebukt om met een bezem onder het bed te voelen of zich daar ook iemand verscholen had; en zij hijgde naar adem, toen zij na lang duwen en stompen niets dan de kat te voorschijn haalde. "Ik heb nooit van mijn leven zoo'n jongen gezien! Nu zullen wij eens buiten kijken." Zij ging voor de open deur staan en keek den tuin rond, tusschen de tomato-boompjes en het doorn-appelkruid. Geen Tom. Daarna gebruikte zij hare handen als spreektrompet en schreeuwde: "Ben je daar, Tom!" Wacht! daar hoort ze plotseling een licht gedruisch achter zich en zij keert zich om juist bijtijds om een jongen bij de panden van zijn buisje te vatten en hem het ontkomen te beletten. "Wel, ik had er aan moeten denken dat je in de provisiekast zoudt zitten," zeide zij. "Wat heb je daar gedaan?" "Niets, tante." "Niets? Kijk eens naar je handen en je mond! Waarom kleven die zoo?" "Dat weet ik niet, tante."

The $30,000 Bequest and Other Stories (1906) is a collection of thirty comic short stories by the iconic American humorist and writer Mark Twain. The stories contained span the course of his career, from "Advice to Young Girls" in 1865 to the titular tale in 1904. Although Twain had ample time to refine his short stories between their original publication date and this collection, there is little evidence to suggest he took an active interest in doing so. "A Burlesque Biography" contains only a few minor technical revisions which make it different from the 1871 version found in Mark Twain's "(Burlesque) Autobiography and First Romance". "Advice to Little Girls" shows slight revision from its earlier publication in The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County

Roughing It is a book of semi-autobiographical travel literature written by American humorist Mark Twain. He wrote it during 1870-71 and published in 1872, as a prequel to his first book The Innocents Abroad (1869). This book tells of Twain's adventures prior to his pleasure cruise related in Innocents Abroad. Roughing It follows the travels of young Mark Twain through the Wild West during the years 1861-1867. After a brief stint as a Confederate cavalry militiaman (not included in the account), he joined his brother Orion Clemens, who had been appointed Secretary of the Nevada Territory, on a stagecoach journey west. Twain consulted his brother's diary to refresh his memory and borrowed heavily from his active imagination for many stories in the book. Roughing It illustrates many of Twain's early adventures, including a visit to Salt Lake City, gold and silver prospecting, real-estate speculation, a journey to the Kingdom of Hawaii, and his beginnings as a writer. This memoir provides examples of Twain's rough-hewn humor, which would become a staple of his writing in such later books as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889).

Concerning the Jews is a classic Mark Twain historical essay. Some months ago I published a magazine article descriptive of a remarkable scene in the Imperial Parliament in Vienna. Since then I have received from Jews in America several letters of inquiry. They were difficult letters to answer, for they were not very definite. But at last I have received a definite one. It is from a lawyer, and he really asks the questions which the other writers probably believed they were asking.
