It was Frank's first visit to a great city and he looked at every thing with wonder. The noise of the streets seemed to deafen him and he scarcely escaped being run over by the carts and drays.
"This," thought he, "is New York! I really did not think it was so large!" And yet what Frank had seen as yet was less than the hundredth part of New York. But the rows of tall houses were so long, and the shop-windows were so fine, and the sights in the streets were so new and wonderful, that he was in a sort of rapture.
