1. Literary license allows for absence of quotation marks; they are not essential, as you seem to believe. Many great classics of literature don't contain quotation marks.

2. "There 'are'" not "there 'is'" numbers. "Numbers" is a plural noun requiring a plural verb. Furthermore, the use of Arabic numerals is perfectly acceptable.

3. "Had begun" is past perfect tense and is absolutely correct. YOUR version--"had began" is grammatically incorrect. You clearly don't even remotely understand verb tenses.

4. The second "to" is clearly just a typo, and a comma is not essential. Again, literary license.

Please don't try to edit. You aren't qualified--either from a grammatical or a literary standpoint--and you aren't good at it.
