"You feel the press in this house?"
"First time, I thought it was an earthquake, Mr. Blaine."
Joe was abashed.
"How'd you know my name?"
"Ast it off your landlady."
"Well, you're wrong—I'm Mr. Joe."
Mrs. Cassidy was hugely amused.
"You're one grand fellow, let me tell you. But, oh, that black, thin one—he's creepy, Mr. Joe. But your mother—she's all right. I was telling Mrs. Rann so myself."
Joe sighed tragically.
