Hard to Please and a Doctor Dear to Twain
A quip attributed to Mark Twain about pleasing all men is recalled during a dinner. The speaker recalls an anecdote from his Virginia City reporting days about a doctor named Dr. Sawyer and a Tahoe camping trip ending with a patient’s death under his care. The tale ends with the doctor being “not pleased.” This memory is framed as a humorous digression.
