Toys: War Toys

From Reservations Recommended, Chapter 2

     “Matthew!” Effie calls when she sees him, as if she were at a high school picnic. “Hey, you look terrific. How’s the war-toy business?”
     “Never been better. … I’ll let you in on my best idea of all. … Weapons. International weapons. The next big thing. A whole arsenal of weapons. Perfect replicas of the best sellers in the international arms trade. Full size. Can’t tell them from the real thing. … Watch for ’em at Christmas …”

No comment. —MD
