Dear Group:
I am curious.  Someone told me that Twain never smoked a cigar on the
lecture platform.  Since Holbrook always smoked in his presentation, I
automatically believed that Twain smoked and could not think without a cigar
in his mouth.  Also, Twain was a restless person, often pacing the floor.
Do we have any evidence that he paced the lecture platform, or was it too
narrow for that to be done.  Did he often venture out into the audience and
interact with them?
I'm very curious.
