Scut Farkus! What a rotten name! We were trapped. There he stood, between us and the alley. Scut Farkus staring out at us with his yellow eyes. He had yellow eyes! So help me, God! Yellow eyes!

"FARKUS" means "wolf" in Hungarian.

"scut" work ( it's English !) means work that tedious, looking up all kinds of facts and statistics/repetitive and boring searches.

Even better than the names Dickens gave his characters, very clever, and until now, I hadn't even thought about it. THANK YOU FOR POSTING WHAT YOU DID! :-)
