When I mention these things about your mother, I mean only to say that she renovated the old manse on Murray's Hill and began taking in boarders. Now she has a little money to squirrel away for Friday after bridge, and she has some marvelous company. She can hold her own it's known, and has no fears of late night incidents with indecent residents, although that one-eyed drifter with the wooden eye snarled when she demanded a surcharge for the broken window. Such a forthright woman, taken by Fortune, that malicious puppeteer, and thrown into the worst of circumstances. But, nevermind, nevermind it all, just go on about your business because we're keeping an eye out for her. Not that wooden eye either, although vendettas seem much easier to execute after a jug of redeye and the callous pressure of heartless ne'erdowells.
