"Nuthin'. Promised I wouldn't tell him no ghost stories fer a week if he'd help me out." "Yep," went on Scroggie, "Dad owns some big oil wells in the States. He ain't got any business down here anyways, but he's so pig-headed you can't tell him anythin'; I'll say that much, even if he is my father.
