The tenant faced the landlord with
a determined look.
THE man you let into the vacant
suite last week." he said, plays the
flute"
Does he play much?"
No; he only plays a little. He
plays a great deal of the time, but he
only plays a little"
You mean hat he's a poor player
81 that he's a player with poor
taste. Any flutist that gets up at 2
o'clock in the morning and tootles out
scales and things isn't much on taste,
to my way of thinking
"Tll have to have a talk with him."
said the landlord.
Its no use,' sighed the tenant.
HE won't listen to you"
We'll soon find out about that
said the landlord, as he reached for his
hat.
It's no use, 1 tell you," responded
the tenant. Him and me had a fight
last night an broke his flute an he
moved out this morning. That's what
I came in to tell you" = Cleveland
