June 5 Friday – In Queenstown Sam had lunch at the home of A.D. Webb, the noted attorney who had sponsored Carlyle G. Smythe at the Queenstown Club. In the evening Sam gave his 90-minute “At Home” (No.1) lecture to a packed audience at the Town Hall. The Queenstown Representative reviewed the talk on June 8, an article signed by “Autocycus,” who Parsons suggests may have been F.C.T. von Lisigen. The reporter affirmed “that Mark Twain can be as funny on the platform as on paper.” Several local newspapers ran articles announcing Sam’s arrival in Queenstown [Philippon 20; MTJ (Spring 2002) 45].
