Famous quotes containing the word watson:
“Miss Watson she took me in the closet and prayed, but nothing come of it. She told me to pray every day, and whatever I asked for I would get it. But it warn’t so. I tried it. Once I got a fish-line, but no hooks. It warn’t any good to me without hooks.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
