Old Cullen patriarch of a dead epoch, had in the end lost all that he had desired, and had seen his acres go, and his black clans, and his Tennessee walking horses, and his hotels in Memphis and Las Vegas, and lost his plantation home near the river itself, so that finally he concluded his mission in a cheap duplex on the East end, the slum section.
