Doesticks, Q. K. Philander, 1831-1875
|
| Date: |
April 27, 1871 |
| First Sentence: |
Who it is that makes toys for boys I really do not know, though I am disposed to think, from the diabolical ingenuity with which certain ones of them are contrived, as if with a single eye to the complete and perfect annoyance and utter discomfort of the neighbors, that the idea must originate with the boy himself, for none other than Young America, in his most objectionable mood, could ever have conceived certain ones of the to-makers' conspiracies against the nerves and neuralgia, against the hysterics, the hypochondria, and the happiness of the hapless and defenceless "grown-ups." |
| Last Sentence: |
Until it appears, let us wait and dread. |
