In Stephen Vincent Benét's short story "The Devil and Daniel Webster," the devil tells Daniel Webster to call him "Mr. Scratch." This name reflects the devil's cunning and playful nature, embodying the idea of a trickster. Webster, a skilled lawyer, ultimately confronts Mr. Scratch in a courtroom setting, emphasizing themes of morality and the struggle between good and evil.

Who was reverend john smeet?

Except for the one-phrase mention in "The Devil and Daniel Webster", there is no historical record of him. Even the Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't mention him. Nobody online has even bothered to make up any kind of fictional biography of him other than to say "HE WAS A REVEREND." As far as we can tell from the research, he didn't exist.
