Though traveling in the South, Twain is not able to celebrate Mardi Gras. He laments missing the festivities in this chapter, and also comments on the celebrity and popularity of Sir Walter Scott, whose writing about the Middle Ages enthralls Southerners.
Twain introduces Uncle Remus, an acquaintance of his who is a writer. Uncle Remus is shy. It is revealed that he is a white man with red hair, which befuddles everyone due to his name and association with the Uncle Remus character. Twain also mentions his history with Mr. Cable. He and Mr. Cable collaborated on a book and chose a unique name for the project, but had to later change the name due to a libel suit that was brought against them over the title of the book.
