There was no denying the fact\u003cbr\u003ethat he was an important personage in Tinkletown, and to the residents\u003cbr\u003eof Tinkletown that meant a great deal, for was not their village a\u003cbr\u003eperpetual monument to the American Revolution? Even the most\u003cbr\u003egeneralising of historians were compelled to devote at least a paragraph\u003cbr\u003eto the battle of Tinkletown, while some of the more enlightened gave a\u003cbr\u003ewhole page and a picture of the conflict that brought glory to the\u003cbr\u003esleepy inhabitants whose ancestors were enterprising enough to\u003cbr\u003eannihilate a whole company of British redcoats, once on a time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotwithstanding all this, a particularly disagreeable visitor from the\u003cbr\u003ecity once remarked, in the presence of half a dozen descendants (after\u003cbr\u003ewaiting twenty minutes at the post-office for a dime's worth of stamps),\u003cbr\u003ethat Tinkletown was indeed a monument, but he could not understand why\u003cbr\u003ethe dead had been left unburied. There was excellent cause for\u003cbr\u003eresentment, but the young man and his stamps were far away before the\u003cbr\u003efull force of the slander penetrated the brains of the listeners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnderson Crow was as imposing and as rugged as the tallest shaft of\u003cbr\u003emarble in the little cemetery on the edge of the town. No one questioned\u003cbr\u003ehis power and authority, no one misjudged his altitude, and no one\u003cbr\u003eoverlooked his dignity. For twenty-eight years he had served Tinkletown\u003cbr\u003eand himself in the triple capacity of town marshal, fire chief and\u003cbr\u003estreet commissioner. He had a system of government peculiarly his own;\u003cbr\u003eand no one possessed the heart or temerity to upset it, no matter what\u003cbr\u003emay have been the political inducements. It would have been like trying\u003cbr\u003eto improve the laws of nature to put a new man in his place. He had\u003cbr\u003ebecome a fixture that only dissolution could remove. Be it said,\u003cbr\u003ehowever, that dissolution did not have its common and accepted meaning\u003cbr\u003ewhen applied to Anderson Crow. For instance, in discoursing upon the\u003cbr\u003eobnoxious habits of the town's most dissolute rake--Alf\u003cbr\u003eReesling--Anderson had more than once ventured the opinion that \"he was\u003cbr\u003ecarrying his dissolution entirely too far.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079439401200,"sku":"2940013408166","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013408166_p0.jpg?v=1763580962","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013408166","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
