What did you say his name was?
gpt
I didn't say. An' he didn't tell me, neither. Fellers like him ain't never ready with their names. Maybe he calls himself Moreton Kenyon. Y' see he was the same as handed the farm over, an' you tol' me, back ther' in Leeson Butte, you'd bo't Moreton Kenyon's farm. 'Moreton Kenyon!' Sort o' high-soundin' name for such a scallawag. I don't never trust high-soundin' names. They're most like whitewash. You allus set that sort o' stuff on hog-pens an' sech, as you might say.

I don't know what that means, cried the other promptly.

But I do know what a scallawag is, an' that's him.
