| There are few things that are so unpardonably
neglected in our country as poker. The upper class knows very little about
it. Now and then you find ambassadors who have sort of a general knowledge
of the game, but the ignorance of the people is fearful. Why, I have known
clergymen, good men, kind-hearted, liberal, sincere, and all that, who did
not know the meaning of a "flush." It is enough to make one ashamed
of one's species. - quoted in A Bibliography of Mark Twain, Merle Johnson |
