The terms of Samuel Clemens's apprenticeship were the usual thing for that day: board and clothes "more board than clothes, and not much of either," Mark Twain used to say. "I was supposed to get two suits of clothes a year, but I didn't get them. I got one suit and took the rest out in Ament's old garments, which didn't fit me in any noticeable way.
I was only about half as big as he was, and when I had on one of his shirts I felt as if I had on a circus-tent. I had to turn the trousers up to my ears to make them short enough." Another apprentice, a huge creature, named Wales McCormick, was so large that Ament's clothes were much too small for him.
