I looked to the pinball machine in corner. A lanky man in overalls and a soft hat was playing.

"You're making a fortune from the old coins he's using. But I'll have a word."

Later, I told my boss the guy worked as a ferryman. Why'd he get so pale?

The boss became pale because he probably knows who he is.
