First Sentence: |
The Ackmores of New York were once a very rich and noted- bank-noted- family, and the head of the family, out of his own house, was of that class of men whose intellect shines only through their purses. |
Last Sentence: |
Umbrellas, once objects of his adoration, are now his horror; especially when Mrs. Flooker makes one as compact as possible- like a war-club, and pursues the "India-rubber-legged" Timothy with the agility of a bounding roe and the fury of a tigress. |
