[The American Claimant by Mark Twain]@TWC D-Link bookThe American Claimant CHAPTER XXII 10/17
I hate that false name.
I told you it wasn't mine.
My name is Sally Sellers--or Sarah, if you like.
From this time I banish dreams, visions, imaginings, and will no more of them. I am going to be myself--my genuine self, my honest self, my natural self, clear and clean of sham and folly and fraud, and worthy of you. There is no grain of social inequality between us; I, like you, am poor; I, like you, am without position or distinction; you are a struggling artist, I am that, too, in my humbler way.
Our bread is honest bread, we work for our living.
