And it was in a restaurant that I ran across this grouchy Scotchman, MacGregor Shinn, who sold me the place here a while back. "Maybe you don't know it, Mac," says I, "but you're a wise guy." "Am I, though?" says he. "I hadn't noticed it myself. Just how, now?" "Unloadin' that country property on me," says I. "I used to wonder why you let go of it. I don't any more.
