A toll-gatherer at a Brooklyn ferry declares that four-fifths of women paying through his window transfer pennies from their pocket books to their mouths before shaving ham along the shelf to him. He notes it is safe to compliment a woman's features, though she might not like being told her head is turned.
A passage describes a prejudiced stereotype of Native Americans portraying them as deceptively friendly. It cites imagined behaviors such as borrowing, stealing, and delaying action until an opportunity to harm whites arises, reinforcing hostile myths without factual basis.
