How would you interpret this sentence?
The hell you yell, Asheville has instant coffee now? I might have to come and review the action myself. The boss sends me out on the trail to beat the gums with the richie riches, so they’ll loan out their Picassos for our big shows. Lately he’s been scobo for the Vanderbilts. So wipe your feet on the mat, cat, I might be headed for your roost.
How would you interpret this sentence: Lately he’s been scobo for the Vanderbilts?
Whom do you think the pronoun ‘he’ refers to here? His boss? If so, I think the phrase ‘on the rail’ in the preceding sentence means following his boss, right?
And do you know what’s the meaning of scobo? According to the context, I guess it maybe mean ‘go’. What do you think?
