THE INNOCENTS ABROAD, by Mark Twain [MT#37][mtinn10.txt]3176

Ancient painters never succeeded in denationalizing themselves

Apocryphal New Testament

Astonishing talent for seeing things that had already passed

Bade our party a kind good-bye, and proceeded to count spoons

Base flattery to call them immoral

Bones of St Denis

But it is an ill-wind that blows nobody good

Buy the man out, goodwill and all

By dividing this statement up among eight

Carry soap with them

Chapel of the Invention of the Cross

Christopher Colombo

Clustered thick with stony, mutilated saints

Commend me to Fennimore Cooper to find beauty in the Indians

Conceived a sort of unwarrantable unfriendliness

Confer the rest of their disastrous patronage on some other firm

Creator made Italy from designs by Michael Angelo!

Cringing spirit of those great men

Diffident young man, mild of moustache, affluent of hair

Expression

Felt that it was not right to steal grapes

Fenimore Cooper Indians

Filed away among the archives of Russia--in the stove

For dismal scenery, I think Palestine must be the prince

Free from self-consciousness--which is at breakfast

Fumigation is cheaper than soap

Fun--but of a mild type

Getting rich very deliberately--very deliberately indeed

Guides

Have a prodigious quantity of mind

He never bored but he struck water

He ought to be dammed--or leveed

Holy Family always lived in grottoes

How tame a sight his country's flag is at home

I am going to try to worry along without it

I carried the sash along with me--I did not need the sash

I had a delicacy about going home and getting thrashed

I was not scared, but I was considerably agitated

Is, ah--is he dead?

It is a hopeless, dreary, heart-broken land

It is inferior--for coffee--but it is pretty fair tea

It used to be a good hotel, but that proves nothing

It was warm. It was the warmest place I ever was in

Joshua

Journals so voluminously begun

Keg of these nails--of the true cross

Lean and mean old age

Man peculiarly and insufferably self-conceited: not seasick

Marks the exact centre of the earth

Nauseous adulation of princely patrons

Never did succeed in making those idiots understand their own language

Never left any chance for newspaper controversies

Never uses a one-syllable word when he can think of a longer one

No satisfaction in being a Pope in those days

Not afraid of a million Bedouins

Not bring ourselves to think St John had two sets of ashes

Old Travelers

One is apt to overestimate beauty when it is rare

Only solitary thing one does not smell in Turkey

Oriental splendor!

Original first shoddy contract mentioned in history

Overflowing his banks

People talk so glibly of "feeling," "expression," "tone,"

Perdition catch all the guides

Picture which one ought to see once--not oftener

Polite hotel waiter who isn't an idiot

Relic matter a little overdone?

Room to turn around in, but not to swing a cat

Saviour, who seems to be of little importance any where in Rome

Self-satisfied monarch, the railroad conductor of America

Sentimental praises of the Arab's idolatry of his horse

She assumes a crushing dignity

Shepherd's Hotel, which is the worst on earth

Smell about them which is peculiar but not entertaining

Some people can not stand prosperity

Somewhat singular taste in the matter of relics

St Charles Borromeo, Bishop of Milan

St Helena, the mother of Constantine

Starving to death

Stirring times here for a while if the last trump should blow

Tahoe means grasshoppers. It means grasshopper soup

The information the ancients didn't have was very voluminous

The Last Supper

There was a good deal of sameness about it

They were like nearly all the Frenchwomen I ever saw --homely

They were seasick. And I was glad of it

Those delightful parrots who have "been here before"

To give birth to an idea

Toll the signal for the St Bartholomew's Massacre

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness

Uncomplaining impoliteness

Under the charitable moon

Used fine tooth combs--successfully

Venitian visiting young ladies

Wandering Jew

Wasn't enough of it to make a pie

We all like to see people seasick when we are not, ourselves

Well provided with cigars and other necessaries of life

What's a fair wind for us is a head wind to them

Whichever one they get is the one they want

Who have actually forgotten their mother tongue in three months

Worth while to get tired out, because one so enjoys resting
