It had a poor little street, degenerated into a mere country lane - grass-grown, weed-grown, made free of by estray cows and chickens; a half-dozen frame buildings, of which only two - the post-office and general store and the Herald office - retained the dignity of their original urban use; a surrounding of sloping woods and rolling fields, vacant save for the agricultural intrusion which leaves so respectfully large a margin of nature to each human trespasser. At night the vast country solitude rolled down over little Tampico and ingulfed it like an Atlantic ingulfing a derelict bumboat. Such was the degree of Tampico's decadence that the country folk looked down on the townfolk. No town can get lower than that.
