Mister Certainly Someone is glad he hadn’t come in a box.
“They…” he pauses, which is out of character for him, he believes, even if he doesn’t remember why that is. Mister Somebody ideally always knows what he’s about to say. Today he doesn’t. Today is a day is a day is a day like any other. After a moment: “They call me Mister Treble.” It sounds confident enough—we ought to forgive that the slight ever happened. His is a calm, placid smile of not too many teeth.
“I was brought in,” clarifies Mister Might-Be-Treble, helpfully. “On the train… I remember these people from somewhere, before all this. They remember me, too. We think that I hit my head. So I’ve been reading. As to try and help myself.”
Why the nice man and the man who wants to kill him have him striked off the resident’s list is of little concern to Mister Potentially Treble. His eyes are eyes and they are on the Books, now.
“You don’t like overseeing the apartments, do you?”
It's like a calling, you know. Sounds like this: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
