American Daredevils and English Railways in Old London
A long anecdotal tale contrasts American bravado with English railway laws. It recounts an American leaping aboard a moving train and later facing police summons for assaulting a guard, ending with a costly settlement. The piece shifts to a humorous note on cutting the TwainHarte play Ah Sin and remarks on agreeable versus disagreeable people in reformist thought.
