Twain in Berlin was a celebrity and behaved like one. Fischer was the correspondent who tagged along, and he took notes: the table talk, the grudges, the improvised profanity, the jokes that never reached print because no editor of the day would have survived them. Eugene Field gets the same treatment. Two American humorists off duty in Europe, watched closely by a man who liked them and reported anyway.
