What is the etymology of Johnny on the spot?
The Dictionary of American Slang says it's been around since about 1895 but gives no further explanation of its origin. The name John and its relatives (Jacques, Jack, Johnny . . . ) turn up in many phrases to mean an unspecified male, as in John Doe. JOHNNIE -- "Johnnie meant fellow, chap in English by the 17th century and a man-about-town in the 1880s. 'Johnny-Come-Lately' was in use in America by the 1830s. 'Johnny-on-the-spot' by the 1890s and 'stage-door Johnny' by 1912.'" From "John and Mary:Common First Names," a chapter in "Listening to America" by Stuart Berg Flexner (Simon and Schuster, New York, 1982). Johnny-on-the-spot is a noun that means "an unusually alert fellow who is capable of decisive action, seizing an opportunity, etc. Also (obs.) 'Johnny-on-the-job.' 1896 Ade 'Artie' 19: She was settin' over in the corner, and a Johnny-on-the-spot, with a big badge, marked 'Committee,' was tryin' to keep cases on her. Ibid. 63. I'll be Johnny-on-the-spot to see that everything's on the level.'" From the "Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang, Volume 1, H-O" by J.E. Lighter, Random House, New York, 1994.
What does feather merchant mean?
During WWII in the U.S. Army, stateside and in the European Theater of Operations, "feather merchant" described a person who talked good deal but whose speech was light in content. I suspect the same was true on the Pacific side. During the early days of the US Army, perhaps as early as the Revolutionary War, it was used to describe unscrupulous merchants (perhaps precursors of Haliburton) who would include rocks and other heavy objects to add weight to the feathers sold to the government that were used for soldiers' pillows, mattresses and such, so to increase the contractors profits. I believe I first read about it in Max(?) Shulman's book "Rally "Round the Flag Boys," which was also made into a movie with Paul Newman and several other popular actors of the era (1950-60s). Shulman was the author of the Dobbie Gillis Books, including "Barefoot Boy with Cheek," or something like that, and one book, which I did not read, that included "The Feather Merchant(s) . . ." in the title.

The lack of respect and recognition from Lyte highlights the class divide and sets the stage for Johnny's character development throughout the story. Johnny's initial rejection serves as a pivotal moment that influences his subsequent actions and choices.
