"It took a lit on a hot Southern afternoon to shake Clay Horey awake in his chair on the porch.  He paid no attention to the screech of a tightening ploughshare or the jabbering of a jaybird.  but when a rattle-trap car drove right up to his front door and expired with a backfire of stinking smoke, why, that drew Clay fro his chair and made him really mad.  he decided to tell whoever it was that he, Clay Horey, did not like strangers driving up to his house, poisoning the air with smoke and waking up people.  But the tall, lanky, leather-faced man with eyes like slits, a black suit and hat and a stringy black bow tie, was no ordinary stranger."
