Text II
Following is an excerpt from the travelogue, The Innocents
Abroad by Mark Twain.
A little after noon on that distinguished Saturday
I reached the ship and went on board. All was bustle
and confusion. The pier was crowded with carriages and
men; passengers were arriving and hurrying on
the vessel's decks were encumbered with trunks and
valises; groups of excursionists, arrayed in unattractive
traveling costumes, were moping about in a drizzling
rain and looking as droopy and woebegone as so many
molting chickens. The gallant flag was up, but it was
under the spell, too, and hung limp and disheartened by
the mast. Altogether, it was the bluest, bluest spectacle! It was a pleasure excursion — there was no gainsaying that, because the program said so — it was so nominated in the bond — but it surely hadn't the general aspect of one.
