Description
Excerpt from The Veiled Doctor: A Novel
They had refused right of way, refused to contribute to the stock of the baby enter prise, refused everything, in short, and so successfully blocked its progress that a dif ferent route was decided upon, and the old town, under its canopy of trees, fell forever out of step with the vanguard of commerce. But the retired sea captains who formed its population congratulated each other upon the wisdom of their choice as they smoked in the tiny amphibious parlors among the rare shells and curios gathered in a life''s cruising. So, bustling prosperity ebbed away, and, like the tide in the sluggish har bor, nobody noticed its going until it was beyond recall.
