Excerpt from: Life on the Mississippi
Mark Twain
THERE was no use in arguing with a person like this. I promptly put such a strain on my memory that by and by even the shoal water and the countless crossing-marks began to stay with me. But the result was just the same. I never could more than get one knotty thing learned before another presented itself. Now I had often seen pilots gazing at the water and pretending to read it as if it were a book; but it was a book that told me nothing.

3) I think that is isn't fair. The system is based on luck and chance and most of the time, luck is not balanced.
5)The princess knows what is behind the doors and which door contains what. That means that she has all the knowledge she needs to be of help to her young lover. But it is her turbulent emotions on the subject that will make or mar his predicament.
6)The lady behind the door most definitely likes her lover and would not be opposed to marrying him. So of course the princess will hate her and do anything to stop her from being happy.

Even though she hates the Lady behind the door, the survival of her lover depended on his marriage to that lady.
Is this suposed to be about a book????????????
