Aloha all,
  I am researching Twain's fictitious traveling companion in Hawaii, Mr.
Brown.  What I'm interested in hearing from you is your opinion on whether
you think Mr. Brown is an example of a classic literary sidekick, a la
Sancho Panza.  If so, why.  If not, why not.  I am focusing my research
strictly on Mr. Brown's appearances in Twain's letters from Hawaii.

  Also, if you have other sources to recommend for my research, I am all
ears.  I am particularly interested in journal articles, theses, etc.  I
have already perused the archives of this listserve and scoured Frear's Mark
Twain and Hawaii, Walker and Dane's Mark Twain's Travels with Mr. Brown,
Ferguson's Mark Twain:  Man and Legend, Sanborn's Mark Twain:  The Bachelor
Years and Powers' Mark Twain:  A Life.

  I look forward to the discussion.  Let it roll.

  Aloha,
