This work's narrator forgets to bring a dog with him when he visits the supposedly poisonous "Grotto of the Dog," making it impossible to see whether it will kill a dog in a minute and a half. In another section, the narrator reads about St. Philip Neri's heart, which was inflamed with so much divine love that it burst his ribs. It also relates a story in which a "relic-hunter" caused a wart to appear on the jaw of the sphinx. In an early chapter, a fellow named Mr. Blucher believes he is ruined when he orders a dinner that appears too costly for his compatriots. The narrator of this book tells the "Legend of the Seven Sleepers" after arriving in Ephesus. This book incorporated a series of letters that had appeared in the Daily Alta California and documents a trip aboard the Quaker City. The success of this book led its author to follow-up with the similar A Tramp Abroad and Roughing It. For 10 points, name this satirical travelogue subtitled "the New Pilgrims' Progress," in which Mark Twain poked fun at the Old World.
