Jane

I discover that Mark Twain has a rather intense dislike for Jane Austen, and in turn I feel a little happy. Does this constitute as 'Cause and effect' ? 


Mark Twain on Austen: 


"Jane is entirely impossible. It seems a great pity they allowed her to die a natural death."


"Just the omission of Jane Austen's books alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn't a book in it."
