Excerpt from The Coastlanders I think he sort of took to me from the first. Any way, it don't matter much. He couldn't have done without me, even though he'd hated me like to bust, as his boys done. I didn't care who I worked fer those days, as long as I got my cheque regular. I was the best cow-banger on the coast, though I say it that shouldn't. And Stump knew it. I could take my pick of masters any time I chose. They wasn't an owner round them parts that wouldn't have been glad to make room in his outfit fer Red Dawson, as the boys called me. Old Stump Ferguson had three sons, same as Noah did. Like Shem, Ham, and the other feller, they hated the old man like poison because he didn't choose to die right off and leave them the farm, but kept living right on to please himself. They hated each other and most every other living thing around the place. But most of all they hated the Sullivans, on the next holding, because the Sullivans played them dirt fer dirt and wouldn't scare worth tuppence. Me they hated too. I take it as a compliment.
