He is said to have exclaimed ,,Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" 4 knights killed Becket on the altar steps. The murder shocked. The Pope made Becket a saint. Canterbury became a shrine. Henry himself made a pilgrimage to Canterbury, walked barefoot through the town and was flogged by bishops at his request.

He fulfilled his end of the deal finally though he was often late in submitting articles and his publisher William Dean Howells was not impressed. And his readers were turning elsewhere. After moving to his native New York to write freelance, his novel Gabriel Conroy (1876) and his collaboration with Mark Twain on the play Ah Sin (1878) proved unsuccessful in providing adequate income for the Harte family. He and Twain quarrelled bitterly amid rumours of his belligerence, spendthrift habits, drinking, and womanising which would haunt him for years to come.
