Why does twain seem jealous of Hicks?

I couldn't laugh, I couldn't applaud;

it filled me with bitterness to have others do it and to have people make a hero of

Hicks and crowd around him when the show was over and ask him for more and

more particulars of the wonders he had seen in his visions and manifest in many

ways that they were proud to be acquainted with him. Hicks the idea! I couldn't

stand it; I was getting boiled to death in my own bile. ( in other Word he couldn't stand Hicks getting all the attention)
