...nearly every Carnegie International Exhibition since 1910 has appeared a painting from the determined brush of Mrs. Johanna K. Woodwell Hailman, one of Pittsburgh's own artists. In her huge old mansion on Penn Avenue, rich, widowed Mrs. Hailman almost single-handed keeps up a neighborhood where the Carnegies, Fricks, Heinzes and Mellons built their first palaces, only to move later to more fashionable fields.

...later ones. Son of an insurance clerk (''a drivelling great ape, with his head full only of fury, pretences and louder and louder yellings: a whole clattering chaos of idiocies"), and a well-meaning but uncherished mother who runs a dilapidated antique shop, Ferdinand recalls malicious neighborhood gossip, scandals, a murder, a tough playmate who taught him much smut, another playmate who went to the country and died of fresh air.
