“Is he in business?”
“I don’t think so.”
“What does he do for a living?”
“Anything that comes his way, I guess, or anybody. He[Pg 33] must have means enough to sport on in a quiet way, and I think he gambles frequently when he finds an easy game. I can’t put you wise to much more.”
“Is he quite friendly with the Crandall woman?” Chick inquired.
“He certainly is,” said Carson.
“How long has she been living here?”
“About two months.”
“What’s her reputation?”
“None too good. She’s pretty fly, I reckon, if the whole truth were told. We have been thinking of asking her to move out. That tells the story.”
