Mark Twain Quotes

The First Glance At The Pillow Showed Me A Repulsive Sentinel Perched Upon Each End Of It
cockroaches As Large As Peach Leaves
fellows With Long, Quivering Antennae And Fiery, Malignant Eyes. They Were Grating Their Teeth Like Tobacco Worms, And Appeared To Be Dissatisfied About Something. I Had Often Heard That These Reptiles Were In The Habit Of Eating Off Sleeping Sailors' Toe Nails Down To The Quick, And I Would Not Get In The Bunk Any More. I Lay Down On The Floor. But A Rat Came And Bothered Me, And Shortly Afterward A Procession Of Cockroaches Arrived And Camped In My Hair. In A Few Moments The Rooster Was Crowing With Uncommon Spirit And A Party Of Fleas Were Throwing Double Somersaults About My Person In The Wildest Disorder, And Taking A Bite Every Time They Stuck. I Was Beginning To Feel Really Annoyed. I Got Up And Put My Clothes On And Went On Deck.
The Above Is Not Overdrawn; It Is A Truthful Sketch Of Inter-island Schooner Life.
