Today is the date of that afternoon in April a year ago when I first saw the strange and attractive doll (玩具娃娃) in the window of Abe Shefter's toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads; Dr Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's. I was made once more known of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a samll niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending small gifts. Therefore I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable and looked at the collection of unattractive objectsa red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellow envelopes and advertisements for soft-drinks. And thus it was that my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, moat charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and film of dust through which I was looking; but I was sure that a deep impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.
