There is quite a large clan of Scotties among American beggars. He is a good beggar for the simple reason that he is a good talker. Almost every Scotch beggar I met in the States of America was inclined to be talkative, and yet they all managed to conceal their private affairs.

Being 'ethnically ambiguous', as I was pegged in the industry, meant I could audition for virtually any role.
