I don't recall any point in time where I had any interest in fountain pens. I was born well after the time of the fountain pen, and there weren't any relatives in my family that had any special attachments to fountain pens.

Clemens was always a bit of a character. I'm sure to him there was no difference between typing a novel himself, and having someone type it for him. Also amazing that at the same time he was endorsing a pen (the Wirt Fountain Pen), and then later went on to endorse Conklin's Crescent Filler.
