星期一早晨俱乐部哈特福德是一个最结社

    The Monday Evening Club of Hartford was an association of most of
    the literary talent of that city, and it included a number of very
    distinguished members. The writers, the editors, the lawyers, and
    the ministers of the gospel who composed it were more often than not
    men of national or international distinction. There was but one
    paper at each meeting, and it was likely to be a paper that would
    later find its way into some magazine.
    Naturally Mark Twain was one of its favorite members, and his
    contributions never failed to arouse interest and discussion. A
    "Mark Twain night" brought out every member. In the next letter we
    find the first mention of one of his most memorable contributions--a
    story of one of life's moral aspects. The tale, now included in his
    collected works, is, for some reason, little read to-day; yet the
    curious allegory, so vivid in its seeming reality, is well worth
    consideration.
