Dear Twainiacs: Please refresh my memory here, which in a woman over 50, is dwindling quickly. Having just read the biography of Charles Dickens, do I recollect correctly that Twain heard him read and was not impressed? Wasn't it due to the fact that Dickens had a bad cold and Twain could not hear him? Since I do not have access to a Twain biography, would someone kindly answer these questions for me? Thank you very much. Camy
