| First Sentence: |
A number of years ago, when the City of New York was much smaller than it is now, and the only means of getting from place to place cheaply was to ride in the slow-going horse cars or 'busses, unless, indeed, one wanted to bestride "Shank's mare," there lived in a small white cottage on the Cypress Hill road, in that section of Brooklyn now known as Ridgewood, a poor widow woman by the name of Quick, who certainly found life decidedly slow, for she had all she could do to support herself and her only son, a boy of eighteen years, named Charles, for his father, who had died some years before. (Happy Days edition) |
| Last Sentence: |
Banking is their legitimate business, and they stick to it, and each succeeding year adds to the wealth and influence of the firm of Quick & Sharp. (Happy Days edition) |
