It was not possible for Clemens to write like anybody else, but I could very easily write like Clemens, and we took the play scene and scene about, quite secure of coming out in temperamental agreement. The characters remained for the most part his, and I varied them only to make them more like his than, if possible, he could.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
