Mark Twain and GKC

Chesterton attended a literary dinner in [Mark] Twain's honor when the famous American visited London in 1905, and so we can speculate that the two of them met and maybe even exchanged witticisms. A book by Chesterton was only recently discovered in Twain's library and Twain's marginalia are presently being authenticated, so we might soon discover what Twain thought of Chesterton.
