First Sentence: Ten or twelve years ago, I think all the street toy dealers on Broadway might have been numbered on the fingers of one hand, and now there must be half a hundred, or more.
Last Sentence: Mamma will interfere; but, as the toy-man will obsequiously refuse the return of the trumpet, she will probably, out of gratitude for his praise of her child's good-looks, purchase a number of his articles, from which he will reap profit.
