He was a 'Connecticut *WASP,* Rupert. (though the P may have been a pose, even in Connecticut, as well.) Self-proclaimed aristocracy whose idea of 'seeing the world' was Newport. They don't mix with the regular folk, never mind deserve the term 'Yankee' in any sense.
Running off to play born-again-cowboy, well. Heh. "Look, I'm clearing brush like it's a big deal!"
Seriously, of all the people not to give a hard time for not being a 'Texas Native?'
You can have him.
