a very pointless short story the inspector stared at the assembled servants of the manor house and drawled in a deeply southern accent , i suppose you all might be wondering who in tarnation wrote such a travesty of literature to spur an illiterate twit from the backwoods of alabama , namely william robert bebb aka billy bob bebb , to take it into his fool head to write stories himself ; the type of stories that only the mentally deranged would pay good money to read , mind you .
