«New York was New Amsterdam when Dolph Heyliger got himself born there, – a graceless scamp, though a brave, good-natured one, and being left penniless on his father's death he was fain to take service with a doctor, while his mother kept a shop. This doctor had bought a farm on the island of Manhattoes – away out of town, where Twenty-third Street now runs, most likely – and, because of rumors that its tenants had noised about it, he seemed likely to enjoy the responsibilities of landholding and none of its profits.»
