"HE NEVER HEARD HER IN «CARMEN»"
Once Mark Twain was invited to the opera. He accepted the invitation. The box where he had a seat belonged to a very rich man. The rich man and his wife were very proud because all their friends saw them with the famous writer in their own box. During the performance the man and his wife talked all that time. They talk, loudly and so much that it was often impossible for Mark Twain to listen to the opera.
Mark Twain was very much annoyed. He liked music and always enjoyed listening to the opera. He realized that neither the rich man nor his wife understood music and they came to the opera just to show that the famous writer was a friend of theirs.
Mark Twain was very sorry he had accepted their invitation. That was very foolish of him. Still there was no way out. He had to wait until the end.
Towards the end of the performance the rich lady turned to Mark Twain and smiled. She was quite sure that the famous writer had enjoyed the opera. So she invited Mark Twain to listen to another opera. She told him that she and her husband would be happy to see him in the box the following Friday. She added that "Carmen" would be on. The great writer expressed his gratitude for the invitation and said:
"That'll be fine. I never heard you in "Carmen".
