What was Mark Twain’s response to Mormon polygamists? “A man cannot have more than one master.”

Ha! Mark twain also said that the Mormon men who married the “ poor, ungainly, and pathetically homely creatures” he claimed to have seen in Salt Lake City deserved praise not censure, see http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080129225247AAIlkFQ. Of course he was a humorist and such a comment was probably seen as unacceptable even In his day except only as his effort at sharing a humorous slant on things perhaps.
