Question

What is implied in this sentence from Mark Twain's "The ?1,000,000 Bank-Note"? I was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so I took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.

Answer 1

What was implied was that, he was made an object of mockery as a result of his lack of understanding of the situation on ground.

The inability to clarify his thoughts regarding to the topic made him felt hurt as well as being forced to accept such.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The social and economic class difference

Explanation:

As the title of the book clearly shows, the main topic must be an economical one. 'not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk'  clearly depicts a person feeling hurt and insulted who unfortunately has no fortune and therefore has to retreat from rich and strong folk. Strong doesn´t refer to physical power, it is the power of money.
