"Clemens (as I must call him instead of Mark Twain, which seemed always somehow to mask him from my personal sense).was a youth to the end of his days, the heart of a boy with the head of a sage; the heart of a good boy, or a bad boy, but always a wilful boy, and wilfulest to show himself out at every time for just the boy he was." Twain and Howells were friends for forty-four years, and advisors to one another all the long. This is a wonderful, anecdotal critique of Twain by the man who humbly describes himself as the man "mo[st] wholly in literature."
