Many thanks. Led me to some interesting thoughts on hoaxes, not quite what
I was expecting. it has been years since I read Roughin It, but I
wsas startled to see a scholar opine that there were already traces of
Twain's conviction that the Diety was capricious. I thought that all
happened after Susie's death!
Anyway, greatly appreciate those of you who dipped into your expertize and
shared it.
THANKS
