description: A short risqué squib by Mark Twain, first published anonymously in 1880, and finally acknowledged by the author in 1906.Written as an extract from the diary of one of Queen Elizabeth I's ladies-in-waiting, the pamphlet purports to record a conversation between Elizabeth and several famous writers of the day. The topics discussed are entirely scatological, notably farting and sex. (Wikipedia.)
