Mark two (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twain

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'mark' is the first definition.
(Mark Twain)

'two' is the second definition.
(archaic term for 'two')

(Other definitions for twain that I've seen before include "two in history" , "Mark -, pen name of S. L. Clemens" , "Mark, say" , "that was a low number" , "Old pair beginning" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
