June 4 Monday – In Dublin, N.H. Sam wrote to Frederick A. Duneka.

I find that this “Library of Humor” is not the one which was compiled by me, but is a new book, in whose compilation I have had no part.Also, I find that this book is being actually “published” & its sale pushed.

Also I find that it is not a cheap book, “with no money in it for either of us,” but is cloth-bound & higher priced than my own book.

June 3 Sunday – Isabel Lyon’s journal:

The morning bed-talks are vastly interesting. I go into Mr. Clemens’s room a little before 9, after he has finished his breakfast. I make a good audience for him to talk against in order to get himself into the dictating swing. The day has passed long since when he discovered he couldn’t sting me by his tirades against the superstitions of the church & his disgust at those who worship “a tarbaby of a Jesus Christ” or the “dangling carcass of a virgin”, so he lets his speech flow freely on those subjects.

Summer 1906

Summer 1906 – Sometime during his 1906 stay in Dublin (May 18 to Oct. 18, excluding a few trips), Sam met Ethel Barrymore, who was spending the summer at the artists’ colony in Cornish, N.H., where she posed for several paintings. The colony, active between 1895 and 1925, was spread out over Windsor, Vt., Plainfield, and Cornish. During its time nearly 100 artists, sculpors, writers, designers, and well-known politicians chose to live there, either for the full year or during summertimes. Barrymore would become a famous actress.
