"I was a twenty-seven-year-old mining-broker's clerk in San Francisco, and

an expert in all the details of stock traffic. I was alone in the world and had nothing to depend upon but my wits and a clean reputation; but these were setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune, and I was content with the prospect."

-The £1,000,000 Bank Note (1893)




The £1,000,000 Bank Note and Other New Stories (1893) is a collection of nine humorous short stories by Mark Twain. The title story is an entertaining tale about how a bet between two rich English gentleman results in a poor clerk from San Francisco gaining wealth and status in London society. Movie fans will recognize this story as the inspiration for the 1980s movie Trading Places.
