"I once blacked boots myself, for a little while," said Paul.
"You're doin' better now."

"Yes," said Paul, surprised. "Who told you?"
"You take care of the house for a gentleman as has gone to Europe, don't you?"
"How do you know it?" demanded Paul.
"I want to tell you something" said Julius, "only don't you never let on as I told you."
"All right. Go ahead!" said Paul, more and more mystified.
