The person who says this is Ichabod Crane. He says it to Brom Bones, who has just told a story about a headless horseman. Crane is scared of the story, but he also admires Brom's storytelling ability. He calls Brom "a terrible man" because he is so good at telling stories that scare people. He calls him "foxy" because he is so clever and cunning. He calls him "ingenious" because he is always coming up with new and inventive ways to tell stories. He calls him "never tired of twists tricks" because he is always finding new ways to surprise and entertain his audience. He calls him "so not even here on native soil would you give up those wily tales that warm cockles yo" because he is so dedicated to his craft that he will not give up telling stories, even when he is in danger.
