Comments and Response:
(Q) I don't know whether the publisher missed the grammar on the this sentence or if Mark Twain intended to write like that. If it is the latter of the two then I am just going to assume that this was the way they talked back then. Even more on that note, if the rest of the book is like this then it will prove to be a difficult read because of how grammar has progressed from that time period.
