Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Literary Guillotine "Unless this unseemly demonstration ceases once for all," said Mark Twain, rising and glaring out over the crowded room, "I shall order the court cleared and have the trial conducted behind closed doors. Besides," he added, sinking into his accustomed drawl, "this is not a young ladies´ commencement, despite appearances." Then, turning to the nearest policeman, he said: "Officer, bring in the prisoner." "Aye, aye, sir," said the policeman in nautical fashion, and he walked rapidly to the door of the adjoining room, opened it, and beckoned to the invisible occupant. The next moment a large, military figure, encased in a very short jacket and a very high collar, appeared in the doorway, paused for an instant like the king of beasts on entering the arena, and then walked rapidly and with disdainful air to the prisoners´ pen, facing the jury benches. "Ah!" went up in chorus from all the women present; "isn´t he like his own Van Bibber!" Richard Harding Davis stood before us.
