Torrey (or Torry), Miss, evidently was a teacher at Mary Ann Newcomb’s school. Clemens mentions her in “Letter to William Bowen” (21) and refers to her three times in “Villagers” (95, 95, 95). In the working notes for “Schoolhouse Hill” (MSM, 432), Mark Twain cast her as a character named Foster, but she does not appear in the story.
