“I feel as did Mark Sullivan, who said: ‘Garet Garrett has written one of the great novels of the day.’... That is beside the point to one who wants to study man and his work.... The thing that impresses me is its fidelity to life.”

THE CINDER BUGGY
A pot-metal body on two little wheels, absurdly, bow-leggedly walking away to the dump with the slag, the purgings of iron, the villainous drool of the furnace— that is a cinder buggy. It is also a sign that what man refines beyond God’s content with things as he left them will very soon perish for want of the dross from which it is parted. Why hath each thing its cinder?— even the sweetest desire?
