From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Twain’s first sentence gives us the Cantys, “who did not want him,” and his last returns to their baby, “lapped in his poor rags.” In between, all England goes “nearly mad for joy” over a prince who lies there “not caring, either.” Underline the line you find funniest. Whom is Twain laughing at, and is anyone spared?
