Excerpt from Twentieth Century Vacation: Travels After My Own Notion at the Seashore and Mountains of New England
When the publishers of this book wanted me to do the writing for it this year, I naturally hesitated, for I knew pretty well the kind of an estimate the ordinary man had for womankind so far as writing and preaching goes, so I says I'll write the book under certain conditions, which are these If I'm to be the editor of the publication I'm to be editor in every sense. There ain't going to be any members of the firm take a pair of shears and chop the matter that I have written all to pieces just to please somebody's notion of the short-sightedness of woman. What I write shall go in just as I write it or none of it goes in I've got some notions of my own about the twentieth century that I don't want interfered with So there the agreement rested, and there it's got to stand.
