First sentence: Roeliff Orendorf,-or, as he was commonly called, Childe Roeliff, on the account of a certain conceited simplicity which caused him to be happily insensible to the sly ridicule called forth by his little purse-proud pomposities,-was a worthy man, and useful citizen of the queen of cities-I need not mention the name,-who having got rich by a blunder, had ever after a sovereign and hearty contempt for wisdom.
