Hephzy has always called me "Hosy"-a name which I despise-and the others, most of them, "Kent" to my face and "The quahaug" behind my back, a quahaug being a very common form of clam which is supposed to lead a solitary existence and to keep its shell tightly shut.

Even then they began to call me "The quahaug."
