First Sentence

Olyphant is the name of the tiny jerkwater town in Jackson County, northeast Arkansas, where the Missouri Pacific train I was riding to Little Rock stalled for thirty minutes in the late hours of a Sunday in late April, leaving me with nothing to do but read the paper and wait impatiently for the (as near as I could make out by expressing my anxiety to the conductor) triple-thierce camming pin on the glaring-rod of the fifth car's starboard glomhefter to be replaced.
