# Abroad with Mark Twain and Eugene Field/Mark and the Imperial Mistress

MARK AND THE IMPERIAL MISTRESS
At Vienna, in the late nineties, Clemens one fine day intoxicated himself with the idea that there would be millions in writing a play with Kathi Schratt, Emperor Francis Joseph's acknowledged mistress, as heroine. He had in mind a collaborator among native playwrights, and the piece was to be translated into all living tongues. Mark actually started on the thing, adding to his knowledge of German as he went along. Matters having gone so far, I persuaded him to go and see Frau Schratt for local color.
"Bully," he said. "But you must come along. I would never trust myself alone with a royal mistress, not I."
Well, we went, saw, and—wondered at Francis Joseph's taste. In speech and manner, though, the Schratt was a fine old girl. Showed us a big houseful of presents, all gifts from his Majesty, and elaborately so marked.
We had duly admired the silver bed, the silver folding stool and the ditto cabinet, likewise other chamber paraphernalia of white metal, when the Schratt said: "There is one thing more the like of which you haven't in America."
"You don't say so!" ejaculated Mark, in blasphemous German.
The Schratt pushed a button, a wall panel shot sideways, and the handsomest silver-gilt ​bathtub ever came waltzing in, or rather roller-skated in.
In our homeward bound fiacre, Mark remained silent for fully ten minutes; then he delivered himself sadly but firmly:
"No, it's all off with that mellerdrammer. For if I let Schratt ride down to the footlights in that golden tub, people will want to see the Empress in it, too; next they will holler for Kaiser Bill, Sarah Bernhardt, Loie Fuller, and William Jennings Bryan. It won't work—people are such hogs!"
And the drama was never proceeded with.
# Abroad with Mark Twain and Eugene Field/Mark and the Prussian Lieutenant

MARK AND THE PRUSSIAN LIEUTENANT
Mark liked to be taken around to real German places, and one day I escorted him to a Weinstube Unter den Linden, which had quite a reputation for liquid and other refreshments. The room we entered was full of lunchers; we sat down at a small side table that afforded a good look around. About fifteen feet ahead of us was a pier glass on the wall between two windows, and in front of it a table where an old man with his frau were eating the national dish with sausage trimmings. The old folks were enjoying themselves heartily, and, as Mark put it, "they ate so you can hear them a mile off, like Chicago millionaires."
Presently, a young lieutenant strode in, sword trailing, spurs jingling.
"Look at that," said Mark. "All the stupidity and maliciousness of his ancestors, male and female, for two hundred years back, is mirrored in his face."
The junior war lord stalked up the centre aisle, gave his cap to a bowing waiter, and stood up in front of the pier glass. Then he pulled a comb out of one pocket and a brush out of another, and began "currycombing himself," as Mark expressed it. Parting his hair all the way down to the neck, he brushed it sideways both ends—over the old people's sauerkraut and sausages. Mark kicked at me ​under the table and called me names for not going and knocking the fellow down.
"Don't you see, he's peppering those people's dinner with his dandruff," he said. Be a sport and go and kick him well, young fellow."
But I knew better. The lieutenant would have spitted me on the end of his sword before I could say Jack Robinson.
Gradually Mark's wrath melted away and he saw only the funny side of the affair. When the lieutenant had taken his seat at the table, he put one knee over the other and ordered his pea soup on the rough—that is, with the husks intact.
"Husks are filling, you know," said Mark, "or perhaps his stomach is full of chickens. Chicks like husks; that lieutenant is human, after all."
I thought we had seen enough and I encouraged him to go home.
"Oh, no," he said. "I am going to see this circus to the end. Presently that old woman will vomit when one of the lieutenant's bristles tickles her funny bone, and then she will spew all over his boots and pants. I am waiting for that."
# Abroad with Mark Twain and Eugene Field/Mark in England

MARK IN ENGLAND
On another page I have jotted down some sayings of Mark's relating why he "steadfastly refused" to bull the French and Italian literary markets. That in England it was different, goes without saying, and George Moore once explained Mark's English popularity to me.
"It's his peculiar power of presenting pathetic situations without slush," insisted "the last Victorian" in his manner of finality.
Mark was visibly tickled when I read the Moore estimate from the cuff on which I had jotted it down.
He pondered a short while on "the adjectives," then drawled slowly: "The English are good sports, you know."
Here are a few more opinions of English men of letters which I gathered off and on.
Davison Dalziel, M. P., editor of "The Standard," London: "I agree with 'The Spectator' that Mark Twain is the most popular writer in the English tongue because he added more plentifully and more generously to the gayety of the empire of our language than any other author, living or dead."
Moberly Bell, late editor of "The Times," London (in winter of 1899): "Mark Twain succeeded with us because he is a fearless upholder of all that is clean, honest, noble and straightforward in letters as well as in life. ​He once told me that he 'qualified as the first yellow journalist.' I wish to God he had remained the first and only one."
That was before Mr. Bell negotiated for the sale of "The Times" to Lord Northcliffe.
William Heinemann, the late famous London publisher, who could never get hold of any of Mark Twain's books for publication:
"An author as well beloved as he is popular and famous. Wit, scholar, orator, millionaire perhaps" (that was before the Webster period), "yet I have seen a letter of his in which he stated point blank: 'I would rather be a pilot than anything else in the world,' and that letter was penned after two hundred thousand copies of 'Innocents Abroad' had been sold."
# Abroad with Mark Twain and Eugene Field/Mark Studies the Costermonger Language

MARK STUDIES THE COSTERMONGER LANGUAGE
"Funny that we never took to asses in New York and other parts of the States," said Mark one afternoon as we were passing through Soho, London. He was watching the little costermonger carts traveling to and fro with considerable speed, taking into account the petty draft animals, the heavy loads and the boy or girl perched on top.
"The donkeys seem well fed," mused Clemens a block or two further on, "but I don't like a whip in the driver's hand. Hear that," he cried indignantly, "the rude way that corduroy-panted chap is talking to his meek donkey. Let's listen some more. It's a scream."
After the cart had driven away, Clemens said: "The patter of the costermonger, when you come to think of it, is really a language within the English language, and one might do worse than give it printed tongue—i.e., raise it above the merely occasional use British writers accord it. I want to look into that costermongery," he continued. "See if you can't find, hire or steal some coster chap worth listening to, some one who knows the patter with all the trimmings." And at his door he added: "Get an 'Arriet,' for the 'Arry's' are too tough."
A week or two later Herbert Beerbohm Tree found us such a patter artist among the ​employees of Her Majesty's Theatre—a scrub lady—and here follow some of the stories she told us, corrected and amended by Mark, who cut out coster words not generally understood.
# Abroad with Mark Twain and Eugene Field/Mark at the Stock Exchange, Vienna

MARK AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE, VIENNA
A day or two after I sent Clemens my translation of Field Marshal Count Moltke's Letters, he called at my hotel in the forenoon and proposed that we walk to the stock exchange. The stock exchange, as usual, was swarming with gentlemen of the Jewish persuasion, and Mark asked me to pay particular attention to them.
"They are the smartest of the lot here," he insisted, "and so is a Jewish peddler smarter than a Christian house-owner—I mean the average. I say it again; the Jews are the greatest people let loose.
"According to Moltke's essay in the Letters you sent me, the Jews ate up Poland. Very well, the storks eat up frogs. Do we blame the storks?"
# Abroad with Mark Twain and Eugene Field/Mark Thought Joan of Arc Was Slandered

MARK THOUGHT JOAN OF ARC WAS SLANDERED
I was telling Mark about some frolic at the Berlin Court, when the sprightly "Lottchen," Princess of Meiningen, William*s sister, proposed a riddle that puzzled the exalted, but not too quick-witted company—
"Even to the utmost—I know what you want to say. They tell me they are having the charade-fever at the Schloss, is that it?"
"Precisely,*' I answered, and went on to tell of the silly rebus competitions in which the Kaiser took special delight. I had my story from the Baroness Von Larisch, a witness, who enjoyed a photographic memory.
"A movie memory," corrected Mark, "but go on."
Well, I reported, H.R.H. quoted nine or ten descriptions of the party to be guessed at, and neither the Majesties, nor the Highnesses, nor the Graces, nor the Disgraces came anywhere near the solution. Whereupon Lottchen startled the company by announcing the answer: "Joan of Arc."
Twain took the cigar out of his mouth and sat up straight, which, as everybody knows, he did only on rare occasions.
"Blasphemy most horrible!" he thundered, "making a joke of Joan of Arc, my Joan of Arc!"
"Your book isn't out yet," I said by way of pouring oil on troubled waters. "And until ​It sees the light of print people will puzzle whether your Joan was saint, witch, man, maid or something else."
Mark had replaced his cigar and was now chewing it viciously.
"Let's have the story," he said. While he read Joan of Arc's ephemeral epitaph, quoted by Lottchen, the stern lines of his face gradually softened and coming to the end, he laughed outright. "Tiptop," he chuckled, "I wish I had done these verses myself. But, of course, if I had thought of them fifteen or more years ago, I would never have taken Joan seriously."
The verses that amused the great humorist, read as follows:
"Here lies Joan of Arc: the which  Some count man, and something more;  Some count maid, and some a bore.  Her life's in question, wrong or right;  Her death's in doubt by laws or might.  Oh, innocence! take heed of it.  How thou, too, near to guilt doth sit.  (Meantime, France a wonder saw:  A woman rule, 'gainst Salic law!)  But, reader, be content to stay  Thy censure till the judgment-day;  Then shalt thou know, and not before.  Whether saint, witch, man, maid, or bore."
# Abroad with Mark Twain and Eugene Field/Mark as a Translator

MARK AS A TRANSLATOR
Mark conquered Germany before he became one of the favorite literary sons of Austria. "I often wonder that they take to my brand of humor so well," he told me more than once in Vienna—"I mean AFTER MY GERMAN TRIUMPHS, for if Vienna Bookland hates anything worse than German Bookland, I haven't come across the likes of it. Each capital thinks itself a Boston and each calls the other Kalamazoo, or dead Indian Town.
"But I'm not ungrateful," continued Mark, "and to prove it, I studied hard and established the identity of the fatherlandish author whom both Vienna and Berlin admired (though nobody reads him, of course): Goethe."
"Goethe was Englished before I tackled him, but I happened on a passage in Faust that, it seemed to me, was not done justice to. So I summoned the family to a powwow and between us, and a heap of dictionaries, we rendered the disputed and immortal lines 'thus classic':
"'What hypocrites and such can't do without—  Cheese it—ne'er mention it aloud.'
"Bayard" (Taylor) "would have burst with envy if he had lived long enough to see how ​happily I interpreted Goethe without itching for translator's laurels or royalties."
"Let's see the original, Mark."
"Here it is:
"'Man darf es nicht vor keuschen Ohren nennen, Was keusche Hertzen nicht entbehren können.'
"Vers libre with a vengeance, eh?" chuckled Mark. "And why in thunder shouldn't that mean verse liberally handled?"
"If I translated your version of Goethe back into German, do you suppose the Fatherlanders would understand it?"
"No," said honest Mark, "but I do understand their translations of my lingo I am told they make me appear like a native German writer, in fact Moritz Busch called me the most translatable of foreign authors, to my face—but Goethe was a poet, and a prose man, like me, can never do justice to a poetry man of Goethe's distinction. Look at these German translations of Shakespeare—they think them classic—they get my eyes in flood with laughter."

# Accessibility, sustainability, excellence: how to expand access to research publications/Introduction

​ Introduction
This report has been produced by a working group made up of representatives of the higher education sector, research funders, the research community, learned societies, publishers, and libraries. The group’s work was funded by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills, the Higher Education Funding Council for England, Research Councils UK, and the Publishers Association. But its terms of reference required it to operate independently of all four sponsors, and with its own secretariat. The group’s remit has been to examine how to expand access to the peer-reviewed publications that arise from research undertaken both in the UK and the rest of the world, with a particular focus on articles published in scholarly journals (henceforth in this report we shall use the term ‘journal’ to cover any serial publication that publishes peer-reviewed articles reporting on research and its results in any discipline); and to propose a programme of action to that end.
The group has adopted an evidence-based approach to its work in appraising the current research communications landscape in general, and issues of access in particular. Our aim has been to identify key goals and guiding principles in a period of transition towards wider access, and then to find ways both to speed that transition and to sustain during the process what is valuable in a complex ecology with many different agents and stakeholders. The future development of an effective research communications system is too important to leave to chance. Shifts to enable more people have ready access to more of the results of research will bring many benefits. But realising those benefits in a sustainable way will require co-ordinated action by funders, universities, researchers, libraries, publishers and other intermediaries in the information landscape.
