Thank you.  I had actually already included that line in a separate
section of my page on Benares.  It did seem familiar but I was thrown
off a bit by Ian's work.  He relocated that one line to follow a more
graphic description of just why he (Twain) would not wish to see any
more of it (page 502).

By the way, I'm finding Ian Strathcarron's book, "The Indian Equator"
to be an excellent guide for comparing contemporary India with Twain's
Raj experiences, just as I've found his "Innocence and War" helpful
with "The Innocents Abroad".
