The author is hated in his town. That is no wonder if he calles it “Stenchville” and calls its inhabitants “philanderer, alcoholic, gambler or coke fiend”. Well maybe that still could have been excused but that he “wasn’t in church on Sunday” definitely is the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Such is not the behaviour [...]
