B. It goes from sleepy to frantically busy for a short time.

Explanation:

In Life on the Mississippi, Mark Twain details the narrator’s coming of age through the process of learning to be a steamboat pilot, which fulfilled his boyhood dream.

Twain describes Hannibal, Missouri, sometimes as a village and sometimes as a town. It is a very rural, sleepy, quaint place.

He says, 'And the fragrant town drunkard asleep in the shadow of them',  'but nobody to listen to the peaceful lapping of the wavelets against them,' 'a white town drowsing in the sunshine of summer's morning, the streets empty.'
