Twain's use of contemporary local twang has always made his dialogue such a treat to read, and it jumps off the page in this short story, but his humor has always been very hit-or-miss with me and I didn't find this as humorous as some of his other work. It still retains a folksy charm, though, and is well worth reading even in the presence of Twain's other, more easily recognizable work.⭐⭐⭐
