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
