First Sentence: "I wish I were a turtle, that I might carry my house with me wherever I should go, and thus avoid the tyranny of landlords and the two months of agony occasioned by our annual May-moving.
Last Sentence: With a heavy heart, Tom ordered the carman to start for the house vacated by the gentleman who had moved into his apartments; and the muttered curses of Tom, while pursuing the journey, were intended to bring down the most terrible wrath on the memory of the unknown individual who first suggest "Moving on the First of May."
