Somewhere, out of the corner of my ear last night, I heard a TV documentary about a devoted Alabama gardener refer to what sounded like "Mark Twain's last words." Though I was dozing, the words, which didn't sound much like Twain to me, were: "There's no one to play with any more."
A good-ish explanation/epitaph it seemed to me ... no one to play with any more.
I tried looking it up on the internet -- did Twain say such a thing? -- and got no where. No matter: I still like the words.

“Mark Twain’s” last words were to his daughter. They were in writing. He wrote, "Give me my glasses."
