One of Tom Johnson's most fervent admirers. Has a Satanic laugh and talks with an accent somewhere between Cockney and Bowery. Skinny fiend and inclined to be blasé. Originator of the famous scheme to turn over the Flatiron Building. Has lately developed serious views of life and speaks gravely of the folly of misspent time. Takes care of poor Colby Dodge and listens to his medical lectures.
