Il remember the only occasion when
I had the good fortune to meet Rob

rainy day in a smOke-clouded London
club, and we had a conversation there
for two hours. Most of that time was
spent in talking about Mark Twain,
and discussing how great a book was

"Kipling. when I spoke to him about
Mark Twain, was just as enthusiastic

he records with what veneration he

is a feeling that we have had slowly
growing up before us without our aus-

one Of the great figures Of literature.
We have laughed with him, we liked
him. we felt that he was the American

than that-he IS one of the great fig
