I was very 41 indeed. I said to the friend who was with me, “ he talked to me like this 42 he doesn’t know that I am a famous writer.

Whoever you are, there are no 45 seats on the train.” I was 46 he was wrong, so I went up to the same official again and told him that I was Mark Twain. But all he said, “I told you not to trouble me any more.”
Just then I 47 a young porter in a sleeping car looking at me, He whispered something to the train conductor, and that conductor came over to me and said very 48 , “ Can I help you, sir?” “ I 49 do.” I answered.
The porter took out boxes and we got on to the train. When the porter saw we were comfortably 50 in our places, he said, “Now. Is there anything you want, sir? Because you can have whatever you 51 .”
After the porter had gone, my friend looked 52 . He said. “I am 53 sorry I said those things to you just now…” Just then the porter came again and said. “ Oh.
