You could call him Skinny if you knew him from way back; otherwise you were likely to know Quaid Quinnier as Traveling Dan, the Barber Man, or another of the dozen aliases under which he came into townand usually very quickly left. Skinny would set up a folding stool under the awning of the local post office or grocer and charge a nickel for a shave. Gentlemen would walk away with the closest shave theyd ever gotten, and usually didnt notice until they were home that they were lighter their wallet as well as the days stubble.
