But I don't remember what he said on those talks; I remember > distinctly what I said, but his views did not impress me at all. I was far > more interested in my views anyhow than I was in his.

And agrees to lose a round of golf to Mr. Dupette (in secret) in order to get a promotion to "Put" the bottle caps on the bottles, a prospect that seems very thrilling to him. In the later seasons of the show, his character is fleshed out more.

Twain actually wrote what he considered a rebuttal to the charge, only he compared "Yankee" to Clark's story "An Old Fogey" which also appeared in the same volume as "Fortunate Island." Additionally, Twain and Clark had a long running feud dating back to the early 1870s, where each writer accused the other of plagiarism. One piece by Twain attacking Clark (as "John Quill" but not actually named) appeared in Galaxy Magazine in 1870, entitled "A Literary Old Offender in Court with Suspicious Property in His Possession". Clark hated his own reputation as a humorist in later years and gave up humor for a while.
