Some can promote themselves better than others, and they say, through smooth talk and guile Ianto’r Shorter pushed himself and his family ahead very nicely indeed. They also say Ianto bribed the gaffer, plying him with plenty of whisky and catching the occasional rabbit for him. I don’t believe that as Ianto was too fond of the whiskey himself! Fair play to Ianto’r Shortar. His greyhound MacCinli only ever saw one rabbit and in an keen attempt to catch it ran headlong to his death. He was trained to keep cats out the house, not chase rabbits.
