"The Varmint" by Owen Johnson is a novel written in the early 20th century.

The opening of the novel introduces Dink Stover as he arrives at the Trenton station, armed with stolen signs and a chaotic spirit typical of his youthful bravado. As he makes his way to Lawrenceville, he engages in witty banter with his fellow travelers, showcasing his cheeky personality. Upon arrival at the school, he encounters a group of students who mock his appearance and his past, leading to an immediate sense of trepidation for Dink as he grapples with the new social dynamics.
