"I don't know exactly. We had a falling out, and we've parted."
"Well, Tony, what can I do for you?"
"Have you got any cheap room to let, Mrs. Blodgett?"
"I've got a room in the attic. It's small, but if it'll suit you, you can have it for a dollar a week."
"It's just the thing," said Tony, in a tone of satisfaction. "Can I go right up?"
"Yes, if you want to. I generally want a week's pay in advance, but you've been here before——"
"No matter for that. Here's the money," said Tony.
"I'll show you the way up."
"All right. I guess I'll lie down awhile. I've been about the streets all day, and am pretty tired."
