Stoughton, Michigan, presented itself as a ramshackled, filthy wooden town of bar-rooms, eating-rooms, pool-rooms, and unspeakable hotels. The joys and excitements he had known over such deals as the buying and selling of the Catapult, the Peppermint, and the Etna mines were as flat now as the lees of yesternight's feast.
He let the thought sink in, until the very lees of shame tasted like ashes in his mouth. Then, being what he was, and there are not very many men good enough to shoulder what lay ahead of him he set the whole affair behind him as part of the past and looked forward.
