"The Living Joss"
Say, Markham, come here a minute and tell me something. Did you ever hear of a name that sounded something like chickens? A man's... it doesn't have to be like chickens, though. Let's see. It might be fowl - no, that couldn't be it. Ducks, geese - what do you call them all? I mean in a bunch. Wait! Maybe it's poultry... something like poultry, maybe. Moultrie! David Moultrie!
