"You so claim?"
"Yes."
"Well, old man, I am a detective, and even you know how a real detective goes about it. Where are you from?"
"Newark."
"Better get back to Newark as quick as you can or I will give this whole business away."
"Who are you?"
"I've told you I am a detective, and I don't do my business by splurges."
"Then you were on detective work when you went around from house to house?"
"I am not giving my business away."
"What are you after? I may aid you."
