Excerpt from The Tuftonian
One day late in January, the Overland Express put Charming down at a settlement in the foothills of the Cascade range. An early nightfall shut out the squalor of the little town, but he felt it, for he watched regretfully the red lights of the last car disappear around the curve.
Across a street ankle deep in mud, Charming ploughed his way, and pushed open the door of the only hotel whose uncurtained windows had drawn him by their yellow glare. Within, the clamor ceased and the men's voices were hushed for an instant, during which Charming knew he was receiving a most critical examination from the inmates. Then the talk and laughter broke out once more and through the tobacco haze loomed the big hulk of a man whom Charming recognized as the landlord.
