“It was not merely the work in which he had constantly grown happier that he saw taken from him,” Howells notes.
A garden reception to Mr. and Mrs. Howells gave us an opportunity to see the American novelist surrounded by his English friends.
One of the oddest things of which I heard on my trip was that Mr. Howells is credited with being born in more than one place.
"There is no happy life for woman—the advantage that the world offers her is her choice in self-sacrifice," wrote Mr. Howells.
Howells struck with all his strength and his hard knuckles took the halfbreed on the point of the jaw.
Howells adds that as much as forty times this amount was sometimes offered to Mark Twain in later years.
