Summary

This quote describes the setting of Hapscomb's Texaco in the town called Arnette, which is a small and unremarkable place with only four streets. It emphasizes the insignificance and lack of importance of Arnette, positioning it as a distant and inconsequential location that is around 110 miles away from Houston. The term "pissant" adds a derogatory tone, suggesting that Arnette is not worthy of much attention or significance. Overall, this description conveys a sense of remoteness, unimportance, and detachment associated with the Texaco gas station and the town it resides in.

One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
